Footnotes

  1. 25 Heb “Wayward Israel has proven herself to be more righteous than unfaithful Judah.” A comparison is drawn here between the greater culpability of Judah, who has had the advantage of seeing how God disciplined her sister nation for having sinned and yet ignored the warning and committed the same sin, and the culpability of Israel who had no such advantage.
