Jeremiah 22:27

Context
22:27 You will never come back to this land to which you will long to return!” 1 

Jeremiah 23:40

Context
23:40 I will bring on you lasting shame and lasting disgrace which will never be forgotten!’”

1 tn Heb “And unto the land to which they lift up their souls to return there, there they will not return.” Once again there is a sudden shift in person from the second plural to the third plural. As before the translation levels the pronouns to avoid confusion. For the idiom “to lift up the soul to” = “to long/yearn to/for” see BDB 670 s.v. נָשָׂא 1.b(9).
