Jeremiah 10:23

Context

10:23 Lord, we know that people do not control their own destiny. 1 

It is not in their power to determine what will happen to them. 2 

Jeremiah 13:25

Context

13:25 This is your fate,

the destiny to which I have appointed you,

because you have forgotten me

and have trusted in false gods.

1 tn Heb “Not to the man his way.” For the nuance of “fate, destiny, or the way things turn out” for the Hebrew word “way” see Hag 1:5, Isa 40:27 and probably Ps 49:13 (cf. KBL 218 s.v. דֶּרֶךְ 5). For the idea of “control” or “hold in one’s power” for the preposition “to” see Ps 3:8 (cf. BDB 513 s.v. לְ 5.b[a]).

2 tn Heb “Not to a man the walking and the establishing his step.”
