Footnotes
*Hawwot* (הַוָּת) = cravings/desires, but simultaneously carries the sense of disaster/ruin — a word that names the craving and its catastrophic consequence in a single breath. This is the self-destructive loop: the treacherous are not punished from outside but trapped by the very hungers they refused to govern. *Bogdim* (בֹּגְדִים) = traitors/treacherous ones — those who act faithlessly within relationship. FOG uses 'cravings' to capture the inner drive; FOG Message uses 'desires' with 'trap' to make the snare imagery explicit and inevitable.
