  2. 12 The phrase “the evil of” does not appear in the Hebrew text here, but is implied by the metonymical (cause-effect) use of the term “Israel.” It is supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity. Cf. “what they have done is not hidden from me.”
  3. 13 Or “Israel has become corrupt”; “has made itself unclean”; “are unfit to worship me.”
