| NET © Notes |
1 tn This is an attempt to render the Hebrew particle rendered “behold” joined to the first person pronoun. 2 tn Heb “I will put stumbling blocks in front of these people.” In this context the stumbling blocks are the invading armies. 3 tn The words “and fall to their destruction” are implicit in the metaphor and are supplied in the translation for clarity. |
