Jeremiah 17:17

Context

17:17 Do not cause me dismay! 1 

You are my source of safety in times of trouble.

Jeremiah 18:9

Context
18:9 And there are times when I promise to build up and establish 2  a nation or kingdom.

1 tn Heb “do not be a source of dismay for me.” For this nuance of מְחִתָּה (mÿkhittah) rather than “terror” as many of the English versions have it see BDB 370 s.v. מְחִתָּה 1.b and the usage in Prov 21:15. Compare also the usage of the related verb which occurs in the next verse (see also BDB 369 s.v. חָתַת Qal.2).

2 sn Heb “plant.” The terms “uproot,” “tear down,” “destroy,” “build,” and “plant” are the two sides of the ministry Jeremiah was called to (cf. Jer 1:10).
