Jeremiah 11:22

11:22 So the Lord who rules over all 1  said, “I will surely 2  punish them! Their young men will be killed in battle. 3  Their sons and daughters will die of starvation.

1 tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.”

sn For the significance of the term see the notes at 2:19 and 7:3.

2 tn Heb “Behold I will.” For the function of this particle see the translator’s note on 1:6.

3 tn Heb “will die by the sword.” Here “sword” stands contextually for “battle” while “starvation” stands for death by starvation during siege.
