7:16 Nations will see this and be disappointed by 1 all their strength,
they will put their hands over their mouths,
and act as if they were deaf. 2
[7:16] 1 tn Or “be ashamed of.”
[7:16] 2 tn Heb “and their ears will be deaf.” Apparently this means the opposing nations will be left dumbfounded by the Lord’s power. Their inability to respond will make them appear to be deaf mutes.
