Jeremiah 26:15

Context
26:15 But you should take careful note of this: If you put me to death, you will bring on yourselves and this city and those who live in it the guilt of murdering an innocent man. For the Lord has sent me to speak all this where you can hear it. That is the truth!”¹

Jeremiah 46:10

Context

46:10 But that day belongs to the Lord God who rules over all.²

It is the day when he will pay back his enemies.³

His sword will devour them until its appetite is satisfied!

It will drink their blood until it is full!⁴

For the Lord God who rules over all⁵ will offer them up as a sacrifice

in the land of the north by the Euphrates River.

¹tn Heb “For in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words/things.”

²tn Heb “the Lord Yahweh of armies.” See the study note at 2:19 for the translation and significance of this title for God.

³sn Most commentators think that this is a reference to the Lord exacting vengeance on Pharaoh Necho for killing Josiah, carrying Jehoahaz off into captivity, and exacting heavy tribute on Judah in 609 b.c. (2 Kgs 23:29, 33-35).

⁴tn Or more paraphrastically, “he will kill them/ until he has exacted full vengeance”; Heb “The sword will eat and be sated; it will drink its fill of their blood.”

sn This passage is, of course, highly figurative. The Lord does not have a literal “sword,” but he uses agents of destruction like the Assyrian armies (called his “rod” in Isa 10:5-6) and the Babylonian armies (called his war club in Jer 51:20) to wreak vengeance on his foes. Likewise, swords do not “eat” or “drink.” What is meant here is that God will use this battle against the Egyptians to kill off many Egyptians until his vengeance is fully satisfied.

⁵tn Heb “the Lord Yahweh of armies.” See the study note at 2:19 for the translation and significance of this title for God.
