[*](4 fin. Lit. ‘to speak clearuesses.’)[*](7 ‘means‘: or, instruments’: but Heb. has an apparent play on words. ‘judgment,’ i.e. right.)[*](10 init. Lit. ‘Days upon a year...’ )[*](12. ‘smite upon,’ or, ‘lament for...’ ‘breasts’: perhaps a play on words with ‘fields.’)[*](13 fin.‘Or, ‘of the ex. city.’)[*](14 ‘uproar...deserted’: or, ‘multitude of the city a solitude.’)
