NETBible

You plant them like trees and they put down their roots.¹ They grow prosperous and are very fruitful.² They always talk about you, but they really care nothing about you.³

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “You planted them and they took root.”

²tn Heb “they grow and produce fruit.” For the nuance “grow” for the verb which normally means “go, walk,” see BDB 232 s.v. חָלַךְ Qal.I.3 and compare Hos 14:7.

³tn Heb “You are near in their mouths, but far from their kidneys.” The figure of substitution is being used here, “mouth” for “words” and “kidneys” for passions and affections. A contemporary equivalent might be, “your name is always on their lips, but their hearts are far from you.”
