Jeremiah 5:15-16

Context

5:15 The Lord says, 1  “Listen, 2  nation of Israel! 3 

I am about to bring a nation from far away to attack you.

It will be a nation that was founded long ago

and has lasted for a long time.

It will be a nation whose language you will not know.

Its people will speak words that you will not be able to understand.

5:16 All of its soldiers are strong and mighty. 4 

Their arrows will send you to your grave. 5 

1 tn Heb “oracle of the Lord.”

2 tn Heb “Behold!”

3 tn Heb “house of Israel.”

4 tn Heb “All of them are mighty warriors.”

5 tn Heb “his quiver [is] an open grave.” The order of the lines has been reversed to make the transition from “nation” to “their arrows” easier.
