|Text=The interrogative "''''why'''" (לָמָּה) is elided in the second clause. Cf. NLT: "Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans?"<ref>So NET, GNT; Tsumura 2023, 68.</ref> At least semantically, it is probably implied in the clauses of v. 2 as well.<ref>So Craigie 1983, 62-3.</ref>
