Yeremia 2:25
Konteks2:25 Do not chase after other gods until your shoes wear out
and your throats become dry. 1
But you say, ‘It is useless for you to try and stop me
because I love those foreign gods 2 and want to pursue them!’
Yeremia 18:12
Konteks18:12 But they just keep saying, ‘We do not care what you say! 3 We will do whatever we want to do! We will continue to behave wickedly and stubbornly!’” 4
[2:25] 1 tn Heb “Refrain your feet from being bare and your throat from being dry/thirsty.”
[2:25] 2 tn Heb “It is useless! No!” For this idiom, see Jer 18:12; NEB “No; I am desperate.”
[18:12] 3 tn Heb “It is useless!” See the same expression in a similar context in Jer 2:25.
[18:12] 4 tn Heb “We will follow our own plans and do each one according to the stubbornness of his own wicked heart.”
[18:12] sn This has been the consistent pattern of their behavior. See 7:24; 9:13; 13:10; 16:12.
