Jeremiah 22:21

Context

22:21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning. 1 

But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”

That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward. 2 

Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.

1 tn Heb “I spoke to you in your security.” The reference is to the sending of the prophets. Compare this context with the context of 7:25. For the nuance “security” for this noun (שַׁלְוָה, shalvah) rather than “prosperity” as many translate see Pss 122:7; 30:6 and the related adjective (שָׁלֵו, shalev) in Jer 49:31; Job 16:2; 21:23.

2 tn Heb “from your youth.” Compare the usage in 2:2; 3:24 and compare a similar idea in 7:25.
