Jeremiah 1:18

Context
1:18 I, the Lord, 1  hereby promise to make you 2  as strong as a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall. You will be able to stand up against all who live in 3  the land, including the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and all the people of the land.

Jeremiah 8:16

Context

8:16 The snorting of the enemy’s horses

is already being heard in the city of Dan.

The sound of the neighing of their stallions 4 

causes the whole land to tremble with fear.

They are coming to destroy the land and everything in it!

They are coming to destroy 5  the cities and everyone who lives in them!”

1 tn See the note on “Jeremiah” at the beginning of v. 17.

2 tn Heb “today I have made you.” The Hebrew verb form here emphasizes the certainty of a yet future act; the Lord is promising to protect Jeremiah from any future attacks which may result from his faithfully carrying out his commission. See a similar use of the same Hebrew verb tense in v. 9, and see the translator’s note there.

3 tn Heb “I make you a fortified city…against all the land….” The words “as strong as” and “so you will be able to stand against all the people of…” are given to clarify the meaning of the metaphor.

4 tn Heb “his stallions.”

5 tn The words “They are coming to destroy” are not in the text. They are inserted to break up a long sentence in conformity with contemporary English style.
