Jeremiah 4:28

Context

4:28 Because of this the land will mourn

and the sky above will grow black. 1 

For I have made my purpose known 2 

and I will not relent or turn back from carrying it out.” 3 

1 sn The earth and the heavens are personified here and depicted in the act of mourning and wearing black clothes because of the destruction of the land of Israel.

2 tn Heb “has spoken and purposed.” This is an example of hendiadys where two verbs are joined by “and” but one is meant to serve as a modifier of the other.

3 tn Heb “will not turn back from it.”
