Notes

I will again make you dwell in tents: This judgment on the wealthy Israelite merchants means they will return to the simple homes of the exodus. There is also hope here. God's plan to save Israel will start again in the wilderness (see Hosea 2:14–15).

Israel has engaged in deception and dishonesty since Jacob's time.
