Note 2 — APPENDIX. (continued 3)
Reading edition
Henderson’s translation of this paragraph is especially vigorous and beautiful:—
13. Therefore My people are led captive at unaware Their nobility are starvelings, And their multitude are parched with thirst.
14. Therefore Sheol enlarges her appetite, And gapes immeasurably with her mouth; And down go her nobility and her multitude. Her noisy throng, and whoever in her that exultest.
15. The man of mean condition is bowed down, And the man of rank is brought low; And the eyes of the haughty are humbled. 16. But Jehovah of hosts is exalted through justice, And the Holy God is sanctified through righteousness.
17. The lambs shall feed wherever they are driven, And the waste fields of the rich, strange flocks shall consume.
