| (0.30) | (Jer 18:18) | 4 tn Heb “Let us smite him with our tongues.” It is clear from the context that this involved plots to kill him. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 17:15) | 2 tn Heb “Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come [or “come to pass”], please.” The use of “please” is probably sarcastic. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 17:11) | 2 tn The Hebrew text merely says “it.” But the antecedent might be ambiguous in English, so the reference to wealth gained by unjust means is here reiterated for clarity. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 16:21) | 1 tn The words “The Lord said” are not in the text. However, it is obvious that he is the speaker. These words are supplied in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 15:6) | 5 sn It is difficult to be sure what intertextual connections are intended by the author in his use of vocabulary. The Hebrew word translated “grown tired” is not very common. It has been used twice before: in 9:5-6b, where it refers to the people being unable to repent, and in 6:11, where it refers to Jeremiah being tired or unable to hold back his anger because of that inability. Now God, too, has worn out his patience with them (cf. Isa 7:13). |
| (0.30) | (Jer 14:22) | 2 tn Heb “Is it not you, O Lord our God?” The words “who does” are supplied in the translation for English style. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 14:17) | 3 tn Heb “virgin daughter, my people.” The last noun here is appositional to the first two (genitive of apposition). Hence it is not ‘literally’ “virgin daughter of my people.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 14:9) | 2 tn Heb “mighty man, warrior.” For this nuance see 1 Sam 17:51, where it parallels a technical term used of Goliath earlier in 17:4, 23. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 13:13) | 4 tn In Hebrew this is all one long sentence with one verb governing compound objects. It is broken up here in conformity with English style. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 11:7) | 1 tn Heb “warned them…saying, ‘Obey me.’” However, it allows the long sentence to be broken up easier if the indirect quote is used. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 10:14) | 3 tn Heb “There is no breath in them.” The referent is made explicit so that no one will mistakenly take it to refer to the idolaters or goldsmiths. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 10:7) | 3 tn Heb “their royalty/dominion.” This is a case of substituting the abstract “royalty, royal power” for the concrete “kings” who exercise it. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 8:22) | 4 sn Jeremiah is lamenting that though there is a remedy available for the recovery of his people, they have not availed themselves of it. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 7:31) | 3 tn Heb “It never entered my heart.” The words “to command such a thing” do not appear in the Hebrew but are added for the sake of clarity. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 7:18) | 2 tn Heb “to provoke me.” There is debate among grammarians and lexicographers about the nuance of the Hebrew particle לְמַעַן (lemaʿan). Some say it always denotes purpose, while others say it may denote either purpose or result, depending on the context. For example, BDB 775 s.v. לְמַעַן note 1 says that it always denotes purpose, never result, but that sometimes what is really a result is represented ironically as though it were a purpose. That explanation fits nicely here in the light of the context of the next verse. The translation is intended to reflect some of that ironic sarcasm. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 7:19) | 1 tn Heb “Is it I whom they provoke?” The rhetorical question expects a negative answer which is made explicit in the translation. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 7:19) | 2 tn Heb “Is it not themselves to their own shame?” The rhetorical question expects a positive answer which is made explicit in the translation. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 6:7) | 1 tc Heb “As a well makes cool/fresh its water, she makes cool/fresh her wickedness.” The translation follows the reading proposed by the Masoretes (Qere) which reads a rare form of the word “well” (בַּיִר [bayir] for בְּאֵר [beʾer]) in place of the form written in the text (Kethib, בּוֹר [bor]), which means “cistern.” The latter noun is masculine and the pronoun “its” is feminine. If indeed בַּיִר (bayir) is a byform of בְּאֵר (beʾer), which is feminine, it would agree in gender with the pronoun. It also forms a more appropriate comparison since cisterns do not hold fresh water. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 6:1) | 3 tn Heb “leans down” or “looks down.” This verb personifies destruction leaning/looking down from its window in the sky, ready to attack. |
