This text has caused no little discussion over the centuries, not so much for
its grammar as for its theology.
The Targum has a quite different rendering.  Is it possible that the Targum
contains the oldest reading and that the MT has somehow been corrupted by a
scribal error (i.e., the omission of "the enemies I turned you over to gave
you bad laws", etc.)?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
