The word "Behold!" shows that the following questions are very important.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
AT: "You think that I will save Jerusalem because I will protect my temple. But that is a lie!"
|
||
|
||
## Do you steal, kill, and commit adultery? ##
|
||
|
||
AT: "You steal, kill, and commit adultery" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
||
|
||
## And do you swear deceitfully and offer incense to Baal and walk after other gods whom you have not known? ##
|
||
|
||
AT: "You lie even in your oaths and worship Baal and other new gods." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
||
|
||
## Then do you come and stand before me in this house where my name is proclaimed and say, ‘We are saved,” so you can do all of these abominations? ##
|
||
|
||
AT: "Then you come to my house and say 'Yahweh will save us" so that you can continue to sin greatly." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
||
|
||
## Is not this house ... a den of bandits in your eyes? ##
|
||
|
||
AT: "This house is ... a den of bandits in your eyes!" or "You act as though you think my house ... should be a place where bandits can go to hide!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
