Yeremia 10:7
Konteks10:7 Everyone should revere you, O King of all nations, 1
because you deserve to be revered. 2
For there is no one like you
among any of the wise people of the nations nor among any of their kings. 3
Yeremia 15:17
Konteks15:17 I did not spend my time in the company of other people,
laughing and having a good time.
I stayed to myself because I felt obligated to you 4
and because I was filled with anger at what they had done.
Yeremia 32:24
Konteks32:24 Even now siege ramps have been built up around the city 5 in order to capture it. War, 6 starvation, and disease are sure to make the city fall into the hands of the Babylonians 7 who are attacking it. 8 Lord, 9 you threatened that this would happen. Now you can see that it is already taking place. 10
[10:7] 1 tn Heb “Who should not revere you…?” The question is rhetorical and expects a negative answer.
[10:7] 2 tn Heb “For it is fitting to you.”
[10:7] 3 tn Heb “their royalty/dominion.” This is a case of substitution of the abstract for the concrete “royalty, royal power” for “kings” who exercise it.
[15:17] 4 tn Heb “because of your hand.”
[32:24] 5 tn Heb “Siege ramps have come up to the city to capture it.”
[32:24] 7 tn Heb “The Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for further explanation.
[32:24] 8 tn Heb “And the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it because of the sword, starvation, and disease.” The verb “has been given” is one of those perfects that view the action as good as done (the perfect of certainty or prophetic perfect).
[32:24] 9 tn The word “
[32:24] 10 tn Heb “And what you said has happened and behold you see it.”
