Yahweh continues speaking to the people of Israel. ## sweet-smelling cane ## smelling cane** - This is a plant with a pleasant smell used to make anointing oil. It did not grow in the land of Israel so the people had to buy it from other nations. ## burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your evil deeds ## These both mean the same thing and emphasize the complaint Yahweh has with his people. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]]) ## burdened me with your sins ## "troubled me with your sins"
