1 tn Heb “all his house”; CEV “anyone else in your family.”

2 tn Heb “No, because this great evil is [worse] than the other which you did with me, by sending me away.” Perhaps the broken syntax reflects her hysteria and outrage.

4 tn Heb “your servant.”

5 tn Heb “For not thus [is] my house with God?”

6 tn Heb “for all my deliverance and every desire, surely does he not make [it] grow?”
