517 B

General Information:

Yahweh has just reminded the people of Judah, as well as Egypt, Edom, Ammon, Moab and all people, that they will be punished. The chapter contrasts the great power of Yahweh with the powerlessness of any other false god. It is intended to question why the Jews would worship any other god. The ULB sets the lines in 10:1-25 farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because they are a long quotation.
