Yeremia 52:3

52:3 What follows is a record of what happened to Jerusalem and Judah because of the Lord’s anger when he drove them out of his sight. ¹⁸  Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

[17:7]  ¹ sn The phrase another great eagle refers to Pharaoh Hophra.

[17:2]  ² sn The verb occurs elsewhere in the OT only in Judg 14:12-19, where Samson supplies a riddle.

[24:20]  ³ tn Grk “these [men] themselves.”

[24:20]  ⁴ tn Or “unrighteous act.”

[24:20]  ⁵ tn The words “me guilty of” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. L&N 88.23 has “αὐτοὶ οὗτοι εἰπάτωσαν τί εὗρον ἀδίκημα στάντος μου ‘let these men themselves tell what unrighteous act they found me guilty of’ Ac 24:20.”

[24:20]  ⁶ tn Grk “the Sanhedrin” (the Sanhedrin was the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews).

[24:2]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Paul) has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:2]  ⁸ tn Or “began to bring charges, saying.”

[24:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “experienced much peace.”

[24:2]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “through you” (“rule” is implied).

[24:2]  ¹¹ tn This term is used only once in the NT (a hapax legomenon). It refers to improvements in internal administration (BDAG 251 s.v. διόρθωμα).

[24:2]  ¹² tn Or “being made for this people.”

[24:2]  ¹³ sn References to peaceful rule, reforms, and the governor’s foresight in the opening address by Tertullus represent an attempt to praise the governor and thus make him favorable to the case. Actual descriptions of his rule portray him as inept (Tacitus, Annals 12.54; Josephus, J. W. 2.13.2-7 [2.253-270]).

[1:13]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “And when.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[1:13]  ¹⁵ tn The word “Jerusalem” is not in the Greek text but is implied (direct objects were often omitted when clear from the context).

[1:13]  ¹⁶ sn In the various lists of the twelve, Peter (also called Simon) is always mentioned first (see also Matt 10:1-4; Mark 3:16-19; Luke 6:13-16) and the first four are always the same, though not in the same order after Peter.

[1:13]  ¹⁷ tn The words “were there” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[52:3]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “Surely (or “for”) because of the anger of the Lord this happened in Jerusalem and Judah until he drove them out from upon his face.” For the phrase “drive out of his sight,” see 7:15.
