| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “paid attention to” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “had listened to.” 2 tn Heb “like a river your peace would have been.” שָׁלוֹם (shalom) probably refers here to the peace and prosperity which God promised in return for obedience to the covenant. 3 tn Heb “and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” צְדָקָה (tsÿdaqah) probably refers here to divine deliverance from enemies. See v. 19. |
