1 tn Heb “wither, wear out.”
2 tn The meaning of חָרַג (kharag, “shake”) is established on the basis of cognates in Arabic and Aramaic. 2 Sam 22:46 reads חָגַר (khagar), which might mean here, “[they] come limping” (on the basis of a cognate in postbiblical Hebrew). The normal meaning for חָגַר (“gird”) makes little sense here.

5 tn The infinitive absolute emphasizes the following verbal idea.
6 tn Heb “and her priests I will clothe [with] deliverance.”
7 tn Heb “[with] shouting they will shout.” The infinitive absolute is used to emphasize the verb.
