Jeremiah 27:5

Context
27:5 “I made the earth and the people and animals on it by my mighty power and great strength, 7  and I give it to whomever I see fit. 8 

1 tn Heb “Behold, they are saying to me.”

2 tn Heb “Where is the word of the Lord. Let it come [or come to pass] please.”

3 sn This prophecy was fulfilled according to 2 Kgs 23:34.

4 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

5 tn The words “Don’t you know” are not in the text. They are a way of conveying the idea that the question which reads literally “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” expects a positive answer. They follow the pattern used at the beginning of the previous two questions and continue that thought. The words are supplied in the translation for clarity.

6 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

7 tn Heb “by my great power and my outstretched arm.” Again “arm” is symbolical for “strength.” Compare the similar expression in 21:5.

8 sn See Dan 4:17 for a similar statement.
