Jeremiah 7:17

Context
7:17 Do you see 1  what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 2 

Jeremiah 51:4

Context

51:4 Let them fall 3  slain in the land of Babylonia, 4 

mortally wounded in the streets of her cities. 5 

1 tn Or “Just look at…” The question is rhetorical and expects a positive answer.

2 map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

3 tn The majority of English versions and the commentaries understand the vav (ו) consecutive + perfect as a future here “They will fall.” However, it makes better sense in the light of the commands in the previous verse to understand this as an indirect third person command (= a jussive; see GKC 333 §112.q, r) as REB and NJPS do.

4 tn Heb “the land of the Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for explanation.

5 tn The words “cities” is not in the text. The text merely says “in her streets” but the antecedent is “land” and must then refer to the streets of the cities in the land.
