translationNotes

  • Yahweh is speaking.
  • I knew you in the wilderness - Yahweh, unlike the gods of the idols, watched over his people and blessed them with water and what they needed to survive in the desert.
  • your heart became lifted up - "Your heart" refers to the relationship of the people of Israel toward God; they became proud, thinking that they did not need Yahweh to be their god any more. (see: :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy)
