2 Judgment belongs with you because you have been a snare set at Mizpah and a net spread out on Tabor. You dug a deep trap in Shittim, but I will punish you for all these things you have done.
Notes and references
The phrase is literally “for you the judgment” and so is ambiguous. It could simply mean that God's judgment is against these leaders; but it could also mean that the power of judgment belongs to them and they have not exercised this authority wisely.
Both Mizpah and Mt. Tabor had particular historical significance for Israel but are now sites of degradation.
Shittim was the last place the Israelites camped before crossing the Jordan (Numbers 25).
