1 tn Heb “Let the wicked one abandon his way.” The singular is collective. 2 tn Heb “and the man of evil his thoughts.” The singular is collective. 3 tn Heb “let him return.” The singular is collective, meaning “let them.” 4 tn The imperfect with vav (ו) conjunctive after the jussive indicates purpose/result. 5 sn The appeal and promise of vv. 6-7 echoes the language of Deut 4:25-31; 30:1-10; and 1 Kgs 8:46-53, all of which anticipate the exile and speak of the prerequisites for restoration. |
