Jeremiah 7:7

If you stop doing these things, ¹  I will allow you to continue to live in this land ²  which I gave to your ancestors as a lasting possession. ³ 

De 4:40; 2Ch 33:8; Jer 3:18; Jer 17:20-27; Jer 18:7,8; Jer 25:5

¹ tn The translation uses imperatives in vv. 5-6 followed by the phrase, “If you do all this,” to avoid the long and complex sentence structure of the Hebrew sentence which has a series of conditional clauses in vv. 5-6 followed by a main clause in v. 7.

² tn Heb “live in this place, in this land.”

³ tn Heb “gave to your fathers [with reference to] from ancient times even unto forever.”
