Footnotes
The chapter pivots from the lion allegory to the vine — Israel's two most potent prophetic symbols (cf. Tehillim 80; Yeshayahu 5; Yohanan 15). The phrase *bedamkha* (בְּדָמְךָ) is textually uncertain: the MT reads 'in your blood,' understood either as 'in your bloodline' (dynastic resonance) or 'by your lifeblood.' Several manuscripts and versions (LXX, Syriac Peshitta) read *bekharmekhah* (בְּכַרְמְךָ), 'in your vineyard,' which integrates smoothly with the agricultural metaphor. FOG chooses 'in your bloodline' to honour the MT's dynastic freight; FOG Message adopts 'in your vineyard' to sustain the vine imagery and follow the textual tradition of the versions.
