Yeremia 4:24-25

4:24 I looked at the mountains and saw that they were shaking.

All the hills were swaying back and forth!

4:25 I looked and saw that there were no more people, ¹ 

and that all the birds in the sky had flown away.

Yeremia 31:25

31:25 I will fully satisfy the needs of those who are weary

and fully refresh the souls of those who are faint. ² 

[4:25]  ¹ tn Heb “there was no man/human being.”

[31:25]  ² tn The verbs here again emphasize that the actions are as good as done (i.e., they are prophetic perfects; cf. GKC 312-13 §106.n).

[31:25]  sn For the concept here compare Jer 31:12 where the promise was applied to northern Israel. This represents the reversal of the conditions that would characterize the exiles according to the covenant curse of Deut 28:65-67.
