1 tn The expression is “years of number,” meaning that they can be counted, and so “the years are few.” The verb simply means “comes” or “lie ahead.”
2 tn The verbal expression “I will not return” serves here to modify the journey that he will take. It is “the road [of] I will not return.”
3 tc The MT has “you will be built up” (תִּבָּנֶה, tibbaneh). But the LXX has “humble yourself” (reading תְּעַנֶּה [tÿ’anneh] apparently). Many commentators read this; Dahood has “you will be healed.”
4 tn The idea is that of the open countryside. The Aramaism is found only here.
