Jeremiah 4:21

Context

4:21 “How long must I see the enemy’s battle flags

and hear the military signals of their bugles?” 1 

Jeremiah 50:22

Context

50:22 The noise of battle can be heard in the land of Babylonia. 2 

There is the sound of great destruction.

1 tn Heb “the sound of ram’s horns,” but the modern equivalent is “bugles” and is more readily understandable.

2 tn The words “of Babylonia” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They have been supplied in the translation to clarify the referent.

sn The verbs in vv. 22-25 are all descriptive of the present, but all of this is really to take place in the future. Hebrew poetry has a way of rendering future actions as though they were already accomplished. The poetry of this section makes it difficult, however, to render the verbs as future, as has been done regularly in the present translation.
