| NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “in that day” (KJV). The verb that introduces this verse serves as a discourse particle and is untranslated; see note on “in the future” in 2:2. 2 sn The number seventy is probably used in a stereotypical, nonliteral sense here to indicate a long period of time that satisfies completely the demands of God’s judgment. 3 tn Heb “like the days of a king.” 4 tn Heb “At the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre like the song of the prostitute.” |
