translationNotes
- Why are you still being struck? Why do you rebel more and more? - Isaiah uses these questions to scold the people of Judah. These could be translated as statements with active verbs: "You keep doing things that Yahweh has to punish you for. You continue to rebel against him" (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion and :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive])
- you - Here the word "you" refers to the people who live in Judah. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_you)
- The whole head is sick, the whole heart is weak - This compares the nation of Israel to a person who has been beaten. Alternate translations: "You are like someone whose head is wounded and whose heart is weak" or "You are like someone whose whole mind and heart are sick." (UDB) (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
- they have not been closed, cleansed, bandaged, nor treated with oil - This can be translated with an active verb: "no one has closed, cleansed, bandaged, or treated them with oil."
