10:23 The sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, is certainly ready to carry out the decreed destruction throughout the land. ¹ 

Yesaya 28:22

28:22 So now, do not mock,

or your chains will become heavier!

For I have heard a message about decreed destruction,

from the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, against the entire land. ² 

Yeremia 40:2

Daniel 9:27

9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. ³ 

But in the middle of that week

he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt.

On the wing ⁴  of abominations will come ⁵  one who destroys,

until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys.”

[10:23]  ¹ tn Heb “Indeed (or perhaps “for”) destruction and what is decreed the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, is about to accomplish in the middle of all the land.” The phrase כָלָא וְנֶחֱרָצָה (khala’ venekheratsah, “destruction and what is decreed”) is a hendiadys; the two terms express one idea, with the second qualifying the first.

[28:22]  ² tn Or “the whole earth” (KJV, ASV, NAB, NCV).

[9:27]  ³ tn Heb “one seven” (also later in this line).

[9:27]  ⁴ tn The referent of the Hebrew word כְּנַף (kÿnaf, “wing”) is unclear here. The LXX and Theodotion have “the temple.” Some English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV) take this to mean “a wing of the temple,” but this is not clear.

[9:27]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text does not have this verb, but it has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
