NET © Notes |
1 tn This line can also be translated “I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel” and is a common idiom (e.g., Deut 30:3; Jer 30:3; Hos 6:11; Zeph 3:20). This rendering is followed by several modern English versions (e.g., NEB, NRSV, NJPS). 2 tn Or “the ruined [or “desolate”] cities.” 3 tn Or “and live [in them].” 4 tn Heb “drink their wine.” 5 tn Or “gardens.” 6 tn Heb “eat their fruit.” |
