Yeremia 18:10

18:10 But if that nation does what displeases me and does not obey me, then I will cancel the good I promised to do to it.

Yeremia 30:19

30:19 Out of those places you will hear songs of thanksgiving ¹ 

and the sounds of laughter and merriment.

I will increase their number and they will not dwindle away. ² 

I will bring them honor and they will no longer be despised.

Yeremia 38:12

38:12 Ebed Melech ³  called down to Jeremiah, “Put these rags and worn-out clothes under your armpits to pad the ropes. ⁴  Jeremiah did as Ebed Melech instructed. ⁵ 

[30:19]  ¹ tn Heb “Out of them will come thanksgiving and a sound of those who are playful.”

[30:19]  ² sn Compare Jer 29:6.

[38:12]  ³ tn Heb “Ebed Melech the Ethiopian.” The words “the Ethiopian” are unnecessary and are not repeated in the translation because he has already been identified as such in vv. 7, 10.

[38:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “under the joints of your arms under the ropes.” The two uses of “under” have different orientations and are best reflected by “between your armpits and the ropes” or “under your armpits to pad the ropes.”

[38:12]  ⁵ tn Or “Jeremiah did so.” The alternate translation is what the text reads literally.
