2:11Has a nation ever changed its gods
(even though they are not really gods at all)?
But my people have exchanged me, their glorious God,28
for a god that cannot help them at all!29
Footnotes
- 28 Heb “have exchanged their glory [i.e., the God in whom they glory].” This is a case of a figure of speech where the attribute of a person or thing is put for the person or thing. Compare the common phrase in Isaiah, the Holy One of Israel, obviously referring to the Lord, the God of Israel.
- 29 Heb “what cannot profit.” The verb is singular and the allusion is likely to Baal. See the translator’s note on for the likely pun or wordplay.
