NET Notes

¹tn See the note on the previous verse.

²tn Heb “have become to me like a lion.”

³tn Heb “have given against me with her voice.”

⁴tn Or “so I will reject her.” The word “hate” is sometimes used in a figurative way to refer to being neglected, i.e., treated as though unloved. In these contexts it does not have the same emotive connotations that a typical modern reader would associate with hate. See Gen 29:31, 33 and E. W. Bullinger, Figures of Speech, 556.
