2:36Why do you constantly go about
changing your political allegiances?79
You will get no help from Egypt
just as you got no help from Assyria.80
Footnotes
- 79 Heb “changing your way.” The translation follows the identification of the Hebrew verb here as a defective writing of a form (תֵּזְלִי [tezéli] instead of תֵּאזְלִי [te’zéli]) from a verb meaning “go/go about” (אָזַל [’azal]; cf. 23 אָזַל). Most modern English versions, commentaries, and lexicons read it from a root meaning “to treat cheaply [or lightly]” (תָּזֵלִּי [tazelli] from the root זָלַל (zalal); cf. זָלַל); hence, “Why do you consider it such a small matter to …”
- 80 Heb “You will be ashamed/disappointed by Egypt, just as you were ashamed/ disappointed by Assyria.”
