1 tc The LXX, a Qumran
2 tn Heb “to cause your eyes to fail.” Elsewhere this verb, when used of eyes, refers to bloodshot eyes resulting from weeping, prolonged staring, or illness (see Lev 26:16; Pss 69:3; 119:82; Lam 2:11; 4:17).
3 tn Heb “and to cause your soul grief.”
4 tn Heb “and all the increase of your house.”
