| NET © Notes |
1 tn The jussive is occasionally used without its normal sense and only as an imperfect (see GKC 323 §109.k). 2 tn There are a number of suggestions for אֹנוֹ (’ono). Some take it as “vigor”: thus “his strength is hungry.” Others take it as “iniquity”: thus “his iniquity/trouble is hungry.” 3 tn The expression means that misfortune is right there to destroy him whenever there is the opportunity. |
