Jeremiah 11:23

Context
11:23 Not one of them will survive. 1  I will bring disaster on those men from Anathoth who threatened you. 2  A day of reckoning is coming for them.” 3 

Jeremiah 28:8

Context
28:8 From earliest times, the prophets who preceded you and me invariably 4  prophesied war, disaster, 5  and plagues against many countries and great kingdoms.

Jeremiah 40:2

Context
40:2 The captain of the royal guard took Jeremiah aside and said to him, “The Lord your God threatened this place with this disaster.

1 tn Heb “There will be no survivors for/among them.”

2 tn Heb “the men of Anathoth.” For the rationale for adding the qualification see the notes on v. 21.

3 tn Heb “I will bring disaster on…, the year of their punishment.”

4 tn The word “invariably” is not in the text but is implicit in the context and in the tense of the Hebrew verb. It is supplied in the translation for clarity and to help bring out the contrast in the next verse.

5 tc Many Hebrew mss read “starvation/famine” which is the second member of a common triad “sword, famine, and plague” in Jeremiah. This triad occurs thirteen times in the book and undoubtedly influenced a later scribe to read “starvation [= famine]” here. For this triad see the note on 14:14. The words “disaster and plagues” are missing in the LXX.
