Jeremiah 31:25

Context

31:25 I will fully satisfy the needs of those who are weary

and fully refresh the souls of those who are faint. 1 

Jeremiah 6:16

Context

6:16 The Lord said to his people: 2 

“You are standing at the crossroads. So consider your path. 3 

Ask where the old, reliable paths 4  are.

Ask where the path is that leads to blessing 5  and follow it.

If you do, you will find rest for your souls.”

But they said, “We will not follow it!”

1 tn The verbs here again emphasize that the actions are as good as done (i.e., they are prophetic perfects; cf. GKC 312-13 §106.n).

sn For the concept here compare Jer 31:12 where the promise was applied to northern Israel. This represents the reversal of the conditions that would characterize the exiles according to the covenant curse of Deut 28:65-67.

2 tn The words, “to his people” are not in the text but are implicit in the interchange of pronouns in the Hebrew of vv. 16-17. They are supplied in the translation here for clarity.

3 tn Heb “Stand at the crossroads and look.”

4 tn Heb “the ancient path,” i.e., the path the Lord set out in ancient times (cf. Deut 32:7).

5 tn Heb “the way of/to the good.”
