Yesaya 9:16

9:16 The leaders of this nation were misleading people,

and the people being led were destroyed. ¹ 

Yeremia 6:11

6:11 I am as full of anger as you are, Lord, ² 

I am tired of trying to hold it in.”

The Lord answered, ³ 

“Vent it, then, ⁴  on the children who play in the street

and on the young men who are gathered together.

Husbands and wives are to be included, ⁵ 

as well as the old and those who are advanced in years.

[9:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and the ones being led were swallowed up.” Instead of taking מְבֻלָּעִים (mÿbulla’im) from בָּלַע (bala’, “to swallow”), HALOT 134 s.v. בלע proposes a rare homonymic root בלע (“confuse”) here.

[6:11]  ² tn Heb “I am full of the wrath of the Lord.”

[6:11]  ³ tn These words are not in the text but are implicit from the words that follow. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[6:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “Pour it out.”

[6:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “are to be captured.”
