| NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “in that day” (KJV). 2 tn Heb “over it”; the referent (the prey) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 3 tn Heb “like the growling of the sea.” 4 tn Heb “and one will gaze toward the land, and look, darkness of distress, and light will grow dark by its [the land’s?] clouds.” sn The motif of light turning to darkness is ironic when compared to v. 20. There the sinners turn light (= moral/ethical good) to darkness (= moral/ethical evil). Now ironically the Lord will turn light (= the sinners’ sphere of existence and life) into darkness (= the judgment and death). |
