22:21While you were feeling secure I gave you warning.34

But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”

That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward.35

Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.

Footnotes

  1. 34 Heb “I spoke to you in your security.” The reference is to the sending of the prophets. Compare this context with the context of 7:25. For the nuance “security” for this noun (שַׁלְוָה, shalvah) rather than “prosperity” as many translate see Pss 122:7; 30:6 and the related adjective (שָׁלֵו, shalev) in Jer 49:31; Job 16:2; 21:23.
  2. 35 Heb “from your youth.” Compare the usage in 2:2; 3:24 and compare a similar idea in 7:25.
