Jeremiah 11:7

Context
11:7 For I solemnly warned your ancestors to obey me. 1  I warned them again and again, 2  ever since I delivered them out of Egypt until this very day.

Jeremiah 22:5

Context
22:5 But, if you do not obey these commands, I solemnly swear 3  that this palace will become a pile of rubble. I, the Lord, affirm it!” 4 

1 tn Heb “warned them…saying, ‘Obey me.’” However, it allows the long sentence to be broken up easier if the indirect quote is used.

2 tn For the explanation for this rendering see the note on 7:13.

3 sn Heb “I swear by myself.” Oaths were guaranteed by invoking the name of a god or swearing by “his life.” See Jer 12:16; 44:26. Since the Lord is incomparably great, he could swear by no higher (see Heb 6:13-16) than to swear by himself or his own great name.

4 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
