# My people, what have I done to you? How have I wearied you? Testify against me!
|
|
|
|
God uses questions to emphasize that he is a good God, and he has done nothing to cause the people to stop worshiping him. AT: "My people, I have been good to you. I have done nothing to make you tired of me. If you think I have, testify against me, now." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# to you ... wearied you? Testify ... brought you ... rescued you ... Miriam to you ... remember ... you went ... you may know
|
|
|
|
Yahweh speaks to the people as if they were one man, so all instances of "you" and all the commands are masculine singular. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
