Divine Promise to Relent from Judgment and to Restore Blessings
14:4“I will heal their waywardness8
and love them freely,9
for my anger will turn10 away from them.
Footnotes
- 8 The noun מְשׁוּבָתָה (méshuvatah, “waywardness”; cf. “backsliding”) is from the same root as שׁוּבָה (shuvah, “return!”) in 14:1[2]. This repetition of שׁוּב (shuv) creates a wordplay which emphasizes reciprocity: if Israel will return (שׁוּבָה, shuvah) to the Lord, he will cure her of the tendency to turn away (מְשׁוּבָתָה) from him.
- 9 The noun נְדָבָה (nédavah, “voluntariness; free-will offering”) is an adverbial accusative of manner: “freely, voluntarily” ( 621 נְדָבָה 1). Cf. “without limit”; “with all my heart”; “my love will know no bounds.”
- 10 The verb שָׁב, shav, “will turn” (Qal perfect 3rd person masculine singular from שׁוּב, shuv, “to turn”) continues the wordplay on שׁוּב in 14:1–4[2–5]. If Israel will “return” (שׁוּב) to the Lord, he will heal Israel’s tendency to “turn away” (מְשׁוּבָתָה, méshuvatah) and “turn” (שָׁב) from his anger.
