2:33 “My, how good you have become
at chasing after your lovers! 1
Why, you could even teach prostitutes a thing or two! 2
1 tn Heb “How good you have made your ways to seek love.”
2 tn Heb “so that even the wicked women you teach your ways.”
3 tn There is some uncertainty about the precise meaning of the phrases translated “the order of transfer and the regulations.” The translation follows the interpretation suggested by J. Bright, Jeremiah (AB), 237; J. A. Thompson, Jeremiah (NICOT), 586, n. 5; and presumably BDB 349 s.v. חֹק 7, which defines the use of חֹק (khoq) here as “conditions of the deed of purchase.”
