NETBible

“Speak kindly to¹ Jerusalem,² and tell her that her time of warfare is over,³ that her punishment is completed.⁴ For the Lord has made her pay double⁵ for all her sins.”

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “speak to the heart of Jerusalem.” Jerusalem is personified as a woman.

²map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

³tn Heb “that she is filled [with] her warfare.” Some understand צָבָא (tsavah, “warfare”) as meaning “hard service” or “compulsory labor” in this context.

⁴tn Heb “that her punishment is accepted [as satisfactory].”

⁵tn Heb “for she has received from the hand of the Lord double.” The principle of the double portion in punishment is also seen in Jer 16:18; 17:18 and Rev 18:6. For examples of the double portion in Israelite law, see Exod 22:4, 7, 9 (double restitution by a thief) and Deut 21:17 (double inheritance portion for the firstborn).
