This is also what Yahweh says: “You Israeli children, do not think [RHQ] that I forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled was to punish you because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].
