(Some words not found in UHB: if statutes_of,my violate and,commandments_of,my not keep )

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠פָקַדְתִּ֣י בְ⁠שֵׁ֣בֶט פִּשְׁעָ֑⁠ם וּ⁠בִ⁠נְגָעִ֥ים עֲוֺנָֽ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: if statutes_of,my violate and,commandments_of,my not keep )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of transgression and iniquity, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [then I will punish the ways they have rebelled with a rod and the wrong they have done with blows]
