NETBible

So I will choose severe punishment¹ for them; I will bring on them what they dread, because I called, and no one responded, I spoke and they did not listen. They did evil before me;² they chose to do what displeases me.”

NET Notes

¹tn The precise meaning of the noun is uncertain. It occurs only here and in 3:4 (but see the note there). It appears to be derived from the verbal root עָלַל (’alal), which can carry the nuance “deal severely.”

²tn Heb “that which is evil in my eyes.”
