| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “Therefore I will again do something amazing with these people, an amazing deed, an amazing thing.” This probably refers to the amazing transformation predicted in vv. 17-24, which will follow the purifying judgment implied in vv. 15-16. 2 tn Heb “the wisdom of their wise ones will perish, the discernment of their discerning ones will keep hidden.” |
