# You have abandoned me ... you have gone back from me The people have turned away from Yahweh. They have disobeyed him and broken the covenant he had made with them. # this is Yahweh's declaration "this is what I, Yahweh, have declared". See how you translated this in Jeremiah 1:8. # gone back from me "left me" or "gone away from me" # I will strike you with my hand "I will use my power to strike you"
