The Lord is going to make these lands desolate (v. 11), destroying all signs of life. (The statement is, of course, hyperbolic or poetic exaggeration; even after the destruction of Jerusalem many people were left in the land.) For these same descriptions of everyday life applying to the end of life, see the allegory in Eccl 12:3-6. |
| (0.35) | (Jer 11:21) | 4 tn Heb “who were seeking my life, saying…” The sentence is broken up in conformity with contemporary English style. |

| (0.35) | (Pro 2:13) | 3 tn Heb “ways of darkness.” Darkness is often metaphorical for sinfulness, ignorance, or oppression. Their way of life lacks spiritual illumination. |
| (0.35) | (Psa 90:10) | 6 sn We fly away. The psalmist compares life to a bird that quickly flies off (see Job 20:8). |
