| NET © Notes |
1 tn On the Hebrew term הוֹי (hoy; “ah, woe”) as a term of mourning, see the notes in 5:16, 18. 2 sn Zion is a reference to Jerusalem. 3 tn The words “They think of themselves as” are supplied in the translation for clarification. In the Hebrew text the term נְקֻבֵי (nÿquvey; “distinguished ones, elite”) is in apposition to the substantival participles in the first line. 4 tn Heb “house.” 5 tn Heb “comes to them.” |
