| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “Thus says Yahweh of armies.” For this title see the study note on 2:19. The translation attempts to avoid the confusion of embedding quotes within quotes by reducing this one to an indirect quote. 2 tn The adverb “Thus” or “Like this” normally points back to something previously mentioned. See, e.g., Exod 29:35; Num 11:15; 15:11; Deut 25:9. 3 tn Heb “Like this I will break this people and this city, just as one breaks the vessel of a potter which is not able to be repaired.” 4 sn See Jer 7:22-23 for parallels. |
