Jeremiah 31:17

Context

31:17 Indeed, there is hope for your posterity. 1 

Your children will return to their own territory.

I, the Lord, affirm it! 2 

Jeremiah 37:8

Context
37:8 Then the Babylonian forces 3  will return. They will attack the city and will capture it and burn it down.

1 tn For this nuance for the Hebrew word אַחֲרִית (’akharit) see BDB 31 s.v. אַחֲרִית d and compare usage in Pss 37:38; 109:13. Others translate “your future” but the “future” lies with the return of her descendants, her posterity.

2 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

3 tn Heb “the Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for the rendering “Babylonian.” The word “forces” is supplied in the translation here for the sake of clarity.
