[5:12]  ¹ tn Heb “have denied the Lord.” The words “What…says” are implicit in what follows.

[5:12]  ² tn Or “he will do nothing”; Heb “Not he [or it]!”

[5:12]  ³ tn Heb “we will not see the sword and famine.”

[16:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “For my eyes are upon all their ways. They are not hidden from before me. And their sin is not hidden away from before my eyes.”

[23:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

[23:24]  ⁶ tn The words “Don’t you know” are not in the text. They are a way of conveying the idea that the question which reads literally “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” expects a positive answer. They follow the pattern used at the beginning of the previous two questions and continue that thought. The words are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[23:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

[32:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “[you are] great in counsel and mighty in deed.”

[32:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “your eyes are open to the ways of the sons of men.”

[32:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “giving to each according to his way [= behavior/conduct] and according to the fruit of his deeds.”
