Verse 14

It was revealed in mine ears "The voice of Jehovah" - The Vulgate has vox Domini ; as if in his copy he had read יהוה קול kol Yehovah ; and in truth, without the word קול kol , voice, it is not easy to make out the sense of the passage; as appears from the strange versions which the rest of the ancients, (except the Chaldee), and many of the moderns, have given of it; as if the matter were revealed in or to the ears of Jehovah: εν τοις ωσι Κυριου , in the ears of the Lord, Septuagint. Vitringa translates it, Revelatus est in auribus meis Jehovah, "Jehovah hath revealed it in mine ears," and refers to 1 Samuel 2:27 ; 1 Samuel 3:21 ; : but the construction in those places is different, and there is no speech of God added; which here seems to want something more than the verb נגלה nigleh to introduce it. Compare Isaiah 5:9 , where the text is still more imperfect.

The Lord God of hosts - צבאות יהוה אדני Adonai Yehovah tsebaoth . But אדני Adonai , Lord, is omitted by two of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and by two of my own; by three editions, and the Septuagint, Syriac and Arabic.
