orth, came from the same quarter. Heber the Kenite also dwelt
on Esdraelon, Jud. iv. 17, v. 24.

363 Duhm's criticisms of it, and rejection of some of its parts are,
even for him, unusually arbitrary, especially his objection to the
words in verse 13, _Go and say to the men of Judah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem_, for obviously these people were not
gathered in, nor could be addressed from, the Temple chamber. It was
the people as a whole, whose fickleness from age to age he was about
to condemn; on this verse Duhm's remarks are, besides being
arbitrary, inconsistent.

366 Deut. iv. 19, xvii. 3; II. Kings xxiii. 5, 13. See the present
writer's "Jerusalem," ii., pp. 186 ff., 260, 263.

369 The only apparent reason for the compiler putting the two songs
together is that the last verse of the one and the first verse of
the other open in the same way, _O that I had_ (Hebrew _O who would
give me_).

370 xxxvi. 32.

371 Greek omits this clause.

372 Apparently a common proverb.

373 Hebrew adds _Jerusalem_ with no sense and a disturbance to the
metre.

_ 374 Mishpat = rule, order, ordinance._

_ 375 Torah = law_, see p. 154.

376 Reading {~HEBREW LETTER TSADI~}{~HEBREW LETTER SHIN~}{~HEBREW LETTER HE~} with Dagesh in last letter.

377 With 10-12, cp. vi. 13-15; 11, 12 are wanting in Greek.

378 Hebrew adds a line of corrupt text.

379 Hebrew, _the Lord_.

380 So Greek. The verse is another instance of the
two-stresses-to-a-line metre; see p. 46.

381 So Greek.

382 So Greek.

383 So Greek.

384 Hebrew adds _Rede of the Lord_.

385 After the Greek, Hebrew is hopeless.

386 Lit., _from a land of distances_, usually taken as meaning exile.
But exile is not yet. Duhm as above.

387 So Greek.

_ 388 Bubbles_, ii. 5. The couplet seems an intrusion breaking between
the two parts of the people's cry.

389 So Greek.

390 Lit., _why cometh not up the fresh skin on_.

391 Greek, _an uttermost_.

392 The Hebrew word seems to me to be taken here rather in its primitive
