NET Notes

tn Heb “said.”

tn Or “fear.” The second person verb form (“you will respect”) is feminine singular, indicating that personified Jerusalem is addressed.

sn God’s judgment of the nations (v. 6) was an object lesson for Israel’s benefit.

tn Or “dwelling place.”

tn Heb “cut off.”

tn Heb “all which I have punished her.” The precise meaning of this statement and its relationship to what precedes are unclear.

tn Heb “But they got up early, they made corrupt all their actions.” The phrase “they got up early” probably refers to their eagerness to engage in sinful activities.
