# You have wearied Yahweh
|
|
|
|
Yahweh is spoken of as if human behavior could make him tired, but God cannot grow weary in a physical or emotional sense. This statement probably means that Yahweh has become offended or exasperated. AT: "You have offended Yahweh" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# How have we wearied him?
|

This question is meant to deny that the people have done any wrong. This can be expressed as a statement. AT: "We have certainly not wearied him." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# in the eyes
|

The eyes represent seeing, and seeing represents thoughts or judgment. AT: "in the opinion" or "in the judgment" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# Where is the God of justice?
|
|
|
|
The priests ask this question in order to claim either that Yahweh does not care whether people do evil or not, or that he never punishes evildoers. AT: "God certainly does not punish evil people!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
