NETBible

“Yet your people 1  say, ‘The behavior 2  of the Lord is not right,’ 3  when it is their behavior that is not right.

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “the sons of your people.”

2 tn Heb “way.”

3 tn The Hebrew verb translated “is (not) right” has the basic meaning of “to measure.” For a similar concept, see Ezek 18:25, 29.
