431 B

Yahweh continues speaking to the unfaithful people of Israel.

you went down to Sheol

The people did not literally go to Sheol. Yahweh is exaggerating slightly to emphasize how far they were willing to travel to find new gods to worship. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)

therefore you did not weaken

This means they continued seeking for other gods. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes)
