Jeremiah 16:16

Jeremiah 17:24

Jeremiah 18:6

Context
18:6 “I, the Lord, say:⁴ ‘O nation of Israel, can I not deal with you as this potter deals with the clay?⁵ In my hands, you, O nation of Israel, are just like the clay in this potter’s hand.’

¹tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.” The Lord has been speaking; the first person has been utilized in translation to avoid a shift which might create confusion.

²tn Heb “Behold I am about to send for many fishermen and they will catch them. And after that I will send for many hunters and they will hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the cracks in the rocks.”

sn The picture of rounding up the population for destruction and exile is also seen in Amos 4:2 and Hab 1:14-17.

³tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

⁴tn This phrase (literally “Oracle of the Lord”) has been handled this way on several occasions when it occurs within first person addresses where the Lord is the speaker. See, e.g., 16:16; 17:24.

⁵tn The words “deals with the clay” are not in the text. They are part of an elliptical comparison and are supplied in the translation here for clarity.
