Raw Blame History

Yahweh continues speaking in the previous chapter, Jeremiah 2

Is she not completely unclean?

AT: "She is completely unclean." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

That woman is this the people of this land!

"This land is like that woman!" That is, Yahweh taking the people of Judah back is like a man taking back the wife he earlier divorced. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)

You have acted like a prostitute

"You have given your love and trust to idols the way a prostitute gives her body to men not her husband" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)

do you want to return to me?

AT: "I will not accept you when you try to come back to me." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

This is Yahwehs declaration

See how you translated this idea in Jeremiah 1:7.

Lift up your eyes

"Look up" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)

Where have you not been ravished?

"You are like a woman who goes everywhere and lets men seize her and sleep with her!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
