Yeremia 19:10

19:10 The Lord continued, ¹  “Now break the jar in front of those who have come here with you.

Yeremia 31:17

31:17 Indeed, there is hope for your posterity. ² 

Your children will return to their own territory.

I, the Lord, affirm it! ³ 

[19:10]  ¹ tn The words “And the Lord continued” are not in the text. However, they are necessary to take us clearly back to the flow of the narrative begun in vv. 1-2 and interrupted by the long speech in vv. 3-9.

[31:17]  ² tn For this nuance for the Hebrew word אַחֲרִית (’akharit) see BDB 31 s.v. אַחֲרִית d and compare usage in Pss 37:38; 109:13. Others translate “your future” but the “future” lies with the return of her descendants, her posterity.

[31:17]  ³ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
