# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh is talking about Israel.
|
|
|
|
# The pride of Israel testifies against him
|
|
|
|
This describes "pride" as a person who testifies against the people of Israel in court. Their prideful attitude and behavior show that they are guilty of no longer obeying Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

|
# so Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their guilt; and Judah also will stumble with them
|
|
|
|
The two kingdoms will become completely disobedient to God because of their pride and sin. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

|
# They were unfaithful to Yahweh, for they have borne illegitimate children
|
|
|
|
Possible meanings are 1) this means the Israelites were marrying people from other nations and having children with them or 2) this means the Israelite parents were unfaithful to Yahweh and they were teaching their children to worship idols.

# Now the new moon festivals will devour them with their fields
|
|
|
|
The people of Israel were supposed to celebrate during the new moon. Here this expression seems to describe the new moon festival as a beast that will eat the people and their fields. However, it is hard to interpret this expression; many versions translate it without making much sense of it. However, the overall meaning is certainly that God will punish the people for their unfaithfulness to him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
