Jeremiah 5:23

5:23 But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts.

They have turned aside and gone their own way. 1 

Jeremiah 31:17

31:17 Indeed, there is hope for your posterity. 2 

Your children will return to their own territory.

I, the Lord, affirm it! 3 

Jeremiah 32:34

32:34 They set up their disgusting idols in the temple which I have claimed for my own 4  and defiled it.

Jeremiah 35:9

35:9 We have not built any houses to live in. We do not own any vineyards, fields, or crops.

1 tn The words, “their own way” are not in the text but are implicit and are supplied in the translation for clarity.

2 tn For this nuance for the Hebrew word אַחֲרִית (’akharit) see BDB 31 s.v. אַחֲרִית d and compare usage in Pss 37:38; 109:13. Others translate “your future” but the “future” lies with the return of her descendants, her posterity.

3 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

4 tn Heb “the house which is called by my name.” Cf. 7:10, 11, 14 and see the translator’s note on 7:10 for the explanation for this rendering.
