1 tn The words “he says” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. 2 tn The pronominal element is masculine plural; the leaders are addressed. 3 tn The verb בָּעַר (ba’ar, “graze, ruin”; HALOT 146 s.v. II בער) is a homonym of the more common בָּעַר (ba’ar, “burn”; see HALOT 145 s.v. I בער). 4 sn The vineyard is a metaphor for the nation here. See 5:1-7. 5 tn Heb “the plunder of the poor [is] in your houses” (so NASB). |
