Footnotes

  1. 19 Heb “usury and interest you take.” See 18:13, 17. This kind of economic exploitation violated the law given in Lev 25:36.
  2. 20 Forgetting the Lord is also addressed in Deut 6:12; 8:11, 14; Jer 3:21; 13:25; Ezek 23:35; Hos 2:15; 8:14; 13:6.
  3. 21 The second person verb forms are feminine singular in Hebrew, indicating that the personified city is addressed here as representing its citizens.
