Ulangan 32:16

32:16 They made him jealous with other gods, ¹ 

they enraged him with abhorrent idols. ² 

Yeremia 3:13

3:13 However, you must confess that you have done wrong, ³ 

and that you have rebelled against the Lord your God.

You must confess ⁴  that you have given yourself to ⁵  foreign gods under every green tree,

and have not obeyed my commands,’ says the Lord.

[32:16]  ¹ tc Heb “with strange (things).” The Vulgate actually supplies diis (“gods”).

[32:16]  ² tn Heb “abhorrent (things)” (cf. NRSV). A number of English versions understand this as referring to “idols” (NAB, NIV, NCV, CEV), while NLT supplies “acts.”

[3:13]  ³ tn Heb “Only acknowledge your iniquity.”

[3:13]  ⁴ tn The words “You must confess” are repeated to convey the connection. The Hebrew text has an introductory “that” in front of the second line and a coordinative “and” in front of the next two lines.

[3:13]  ⁵ tc MT reads דְּרָכַיִךְ (dÿrakhayikh, “your ways”), but the BHS editors suggest דּוֹדַיִךְ (dodayikh, “your breasts”) as an example of orthographic confusion. While the proposal makes sense, it remains a conjectural emendation since it is not supported by any actual manuscripts or ancient versions.

[3:13]  tn Heb “scattered your ways with foreign [gods]” or “spread out your breasts to strangers.”
