[13:5] 1 tn Heb “from the end of the sky.”
[13:5] 2 tn Or “anger”; cf. KJV, ASV “the weapons of his indignation.”
[13:5] 3 tn Or perhaps, “land” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NLT). Even though the heading and subsequent context (see v. 17) indicate Babylon’s judgment is in view, the chapter has a cosmic flavor that suggests that the coming judgment is universal in scope. Perhaps Babylon’s downfall occurs in conjunction with a wider judgment, or the cosmic style is poetic hyperbole used to emphasize the magnitude and importance of the coming event.
[13:18] 4 tn Heb “and bows cut to bits young men.” “Bows” stands by metonymy for arrows.
[13:18] 5 tn Heb “the fruit of the womb.”
[13:18] 6 tn Heb “their eye does not.” Here “eye” is a metonymy for the whole person.
