Footnotes

  1. 2 The Hebrew text has “because” at the beginning of the sentence. In the Hebrew text vv. 2–3 are one sentence comprised of a causal clause giving the reason for divine punishment (v. 2) and the main clause announcing the punishment (v. 3). The translation divides this sentence for stylistic reasons.
  2. 3 Heb “walked in the way of Jeroboam.”
  3. 4 Heb “angering me by their sins.”
