In Hebrew the words for “with difficulty is delivered” have graphic similarity to the words for “is repaid on earth.” A copyist in the Hebrew text stream skipped the words for “where will appear” in a skip from aleph to the next aleph (homoioarcton). A later copyist, seeing that something was missing, and not having a pre-haplographic exemplar, repaired the missing words with “how much more.”
