# For in ancient days I broke your yoke; I tore your fetters off you. Still you said, 'I will not serve!'
Here "broke your yoke" and "tore your fetters off you" are metaphors for setting them free from slavery. The people of Israel had been slaves in Egypt. Alternate translation: "Long ago I released you from slavery, but still you refused to worship me!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# On every high hill and beneath every leafy tree you lay down as a prostitute
Here "prostitute" translates a word that can also refer to a woman who commits adultery or fornication. It is a metaphor for someone who is unfaithful to God. To "lie down as a prostitute" is a metaphor for bowing down to the idols that people worshiped "on every high hill and beneath every leafy tree." Alternate translation: "On every high hill and beneath every leafy tree you worshiped idols instead of me, like an adulterous wife who is unfaithful to her husband" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
