⁶ tn Heb “I will cause your obscene conduct to cease from you and your harlotry from the land of Egypt.”

¹² tn Heb “in your uncleanness (is) obscene conduct.”

¹³ tn Heb “because I cleansed you.” In this context (see especially the very next statement), the statement must refer to divine intention and purpose. Despite God’s efforts to cleanse his people, they resisted him and remained morally impure.

¹⁴ tn The Hebrew text adds the word “again.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “it”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁶ tn Or perhaps, “change my mind.”
