Footnotes
- 25 See the note on the previous verse.
- 26 Heb “have become to me like a lion.”
- 27 Heb “have given against me with her voice.”
- 28 Or “so I will reject her.” The word “hate” is sometimes used in a figurative way to refer to being neglected, i.e., treated as though unloved. In these contexts it does not have the same emotive connotations that a typical modern reader would associate with hate. See Gen 29:31, 33 and E. W. Bullinger, Figures of Speech, .
