Discovery BoxJeremiah 25:29 
Context25:29 For take note, I am already beginning to bring disaster on the city that I call my own. 1 So how can you possibly avoid being punished? 2 You will not go unpunished! For I am proclaiming war against all who live on the earth. I, the Lord who rules over all, 3 affirm it!’ 4
1 tn Heb “which is called by my name.” See translator’s note on 7:10 for support.
2 tn This is an example of a question without the formal introductory particle following a conjunctive vav introducing an opposition. (See Joüon 2:609 §161.a.) It is also an example of the use of the infinitive before the finite verb in a rhetorical question involving doubt or denial. (See Joüon 2:422-23 §123.f, and compare usage in Gen 37:8.)
3 tn Heb “Yahweh of armies.”
sn See the study notes on 2:19 and 7:3 for explanation of this extended title.
