Jeremiah 2:25

Context

2:25 Do not chase after other gods until your shoes wear out

and your throats become dry. 1 

But you say, ‘It is useless for you to try and stop me

because I love those foreign gods 2  and want to pursue them!’

Jeremiah 2:28

Context

2:28 But where are the gods you made for yourselves?

Let them save you when you are in trouble.

The sad fact is that 3  you have as many gods

as you have towns, Judah.

1 tn Heb “Refrain your feet from being bare and your throat from being dry/thirsty.”

2 tn Heb “It is useless! No!” For this idiom, see Jer 18:12; NEB “No; I am desperate.”

3 tn This is an attempt to render the Hebrew particle כִּי (ki, “for, indeed”) contextually.
