1 tn Heb “that not.” The words “I am speaking” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

The term translated “discipline” (KJV, ASV “chastisement”) may also be rendered “instruction,” but vv. 2b-6 indicate that the referent of the term is the various acts of divine judgment the Israelites had witnessed.

4 tn Heb “his strong hand and his stretched-out arm.”
5 tn Heb “the blessing and the curse.”
6 tn Heb “and you bring (them) back to your heart.”
