# So why do you accuse me of doing wrong? All of you have sinned against me
|

God uses this question to rebuke the people of Israel for accusing him of doing wrong. AT: "Israel, you claim that I was wrong when I did not rescue you when you called on me, even though you continue to sin against me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# Your sword has devoured your prophets like a destructive lion

# Have I been a wilderness to Israel? Or a land of deep darkness?
|
|
|
|
Here "a wilderness" and "a land of deep darkness" are metaphors for danger. God uses this question to rebuke the Israelites for behaving as though he had been dangerous. AT: "You act as though I have been like a wilderness or a land of deep darkness to you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# Why would my people say, 'Let us wander around, we will not go to you anymore'?
|
|
