Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Eze 23:35) | 1 tn Heb “and you cast me behind your back.” The expression pictures her rejection of the Lord (see 1 Kgs 14:9). |
| (0.30) | (Jer 51:50) | 3 tn Heb “let Jerusalem go up upon your heart.” The “heart” is often viewed as the seat of one’s mental faculties and thought life. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 38:20) | 2 tn Heb “your life [or you yourself] will live.” Cf. v. 17 and the translator’s note there for the idiom. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 31:16) | 3 tn Heb “your work.” Contextually her “work” refers to her weeping and refusing to be comforted, that is, signs of genuine repentance (v. 15). |
| (0.30) | (Jer 28:7) | 1 tn Heb “Listen to this word/message which I am about to speak in your ears and the ears of all these people.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 27:13) | 2 tn Heb “Why should you and your people die…?” The rhetorical question expects the answer made explicit in the translation, “There is no reason!” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 26:14) | 1 tn Heb “And I, behold, I am in your hand.” Hand is quite commonly used for “power” or “control” in biblical contexts. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 26:15) | 1 tn Heb “For in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words/things.” |

| (0.30) | (Jer 22:20) | 3 tn Heb “your lovers.” For the use of this term to refer to allies, see 30:14 and a semantically similar term in 4:30. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 21:12) | 5 tn Heb “Lest my wrath go out like fire and burn with no one to put it out because of the evil of your deeds.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 17:4) | 1 tc Or “Through your own fault you will lose the land…” As W. McKane (Jeremiah [ICC], 1:386) notes, the ancient versions do not appear to be reading וּבְךָ (uvekha) as in the MT but possibly לְבַדְּךָ (levaddekha). The translation follows the suggestion in BHS that יָדְךָ (yadekha, literally “your hand”) be read for MT וּבְךָ. This has the advantage of fitting the idiom of this verb with “hand” in Deut 15:2 (see also v. 3 there). The Hebrew text thus reads, “You will release your hand from your heritage.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 11:21) | 3 tc The MT reads the second person masculine singular suffix “your life,” but LXX reflects an alternative reading of the first person common singular suffix “my life.” |

| (0.30) | (Jer 11:4) | 2 tn Heb “does not listen…this covenant which I commanded your fathers.” The sentence is broken up this way in conformity with contemporary English style. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 4:30) | 4 tn Heb “enlarging your eyes with antimony.” Antimony was a black powder used by women as eyeliner to make their eyes look larger. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 2:9) | 2 tn The words “your children and” are supplied in the translation to bring out the idea of corporate solidarity implicit in the passage. |
| (0.30) | (Isa 58:13) | 3 tn Heb “[from] doing your desires on my holy day.” The Qumran scroll 1QIsaa supplies the preposition מִן (min) on “doing.” |
