2 tn Heb “So may the gods do to me, and so may they add.”
3 tn Heb “I do not make your life like the life of one of them.”
4 tn Heb “all that is desirable to your eyes they will put in their hand and take.”
5 tn Heb “to the city.”
6 tn Grk “If it is so concerning these things” (see BDAG 422 s.v. ἔχω 10.a for this use).

8 tn Grk “arose,” but in this context it clearly refers to a king assuming power.
