1 tn Heb “my wages.” The words “for prostitution” are not in the Hebrew text but are supplied for clarity; cf. CEV “gave…as payment for sex.” 2 tn Heb “I will turn them”; the referents (vines and fig trees) have been specified in the translation for clarity. 3 tn Heb “the beasts of the field” (so KJV, NASB); the same expression also occurs in v. 18). |
