14:27 The Lord had not decreed that he would blot out Israel’s memory ¹  from under heaven, ²  so he delivered them through Jeroboam son of Joash.

I am forever conscious of my sin. ⁴

[14:27]  ² tn The phrase “from under heaven” adds emphasis to the verb “blot out” and suggest total annihilation. For other examples of the verb מָחָה (makhah), “blot out,” combined with “from under heaven,” see Exod 17:14; Deut 9:14; 25:19; 29:20.

[51:3]  ³ tn Heb “know.”

[51:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “and my sin [is] in front of me continually.”
