# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh is talking about Judah and Israel.
|
|
|
|
# The leaders of Judah are like those who move a boundary stone
|
|
|
|
To "move a boundary stone" refers to moving the landmark that marked the border of some property, which was a crime under Israelite law. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])

# I will pour my wrath on them like water
|
|
|
|
Yahweh's wrath against Judah will be like a large stream of water that destroys them. In the scriptures, emotions and moral qualities are often spoken of as if they were liquids. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|

|
|
# Ephraim is crushed; he is crushed in judgment
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. This statement is made twice for emphasis. Here "Ephraim" refers to the people of the northern kingdom of Israel. AT: "I will punish the people of Israel severely" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# walked after idols

|
|
|
|
# idols
|
|
|

The Hebrew word translated here as "idols" is uncertain in its meaning, and is translated by modern versions in many different ways.
