Jeremiah 29:10

Context

29:10 “For the Lord says, ‘Only when the seventy years of Babylonian rule⁵ are over will I again take up consideration for you.⁶ Then I will fulfill my gracious promise to you and restore⁷ you to your homeland.⁸

¹tn Heb “that nation.”

²tn Heb “the land of the Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for the use of the term “Chaldeans.”

³tn Heb “I will visit upon the king of Babylon and upon that nation, oracle of the Lord, their iniquity even upon the land of the Chaldeans and I will make it everlasting ruins.” The sentence has been restructured to avoid ambiguity and to conform the style more to contemporary English.

sn Compare Isa 13:19-22 and Jer 50:39-40.

⁴tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

⁵sn See the study note on Jer 25:11 for the reckoning of the seventy years.

⁶tn See the translator’s note on Jer 27:22 for this term.

⁷tn Verse 10 is all one long sentence in the Hebrew original: “According to the fullness of Babylon seventy years I will take thought of you and I will establish my gracious word to you by bringing you back to this place.” The sentence has been broken up to conform better to contemporary English style.

⁸tn Heb “this place.” The text has probably been influenced by the parallel passage in 27:22. The term appears fifteen times in Jeremiah and is invariably a reference to Jerusalem or Judah.

sn See Jer 27:22 for this promise.
