| NET © Notes |
1 tn Grk “For behold.” 2 tn Grk “Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that have not borne, and the breasts that have not nursed!” sn Normally barrenness is a sign of judgment, because birth would be seen as a sign of blessing. The reversal of imagery indicates that something was badly wrong. |
