50:11 I keep track of 1 every bird in the hills,
and the insects 2 of the field are mine.
50:12 Even if I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and all it contains belong to me.
[50:11] 1 tn Heb “I know.”
[50:11] 2 tn The precise referent of the Hebrew word, which occurs only here and in Ps 80:13, is uncertain. Aramaic, Arabic and Akkadian cognates refer to insects, such as locusts or crickets.
