Yeremia 20:4

20:4 For the Lord says, ‘I will make both you and your friends terrified of what will happen to you. ³  You will see all of them die by the swords of their enemies. ⁴  I will hand all the people of Judah over to the king of Babylon. He will carry some of them away into exile in Babylon and he will kill others of them with the sword.

Yehezkiel 12:20

12:20 The inhabited towns will be left in ruins and the land will be devastated. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

[19:8]  ¹ sn See 18:16 and the study note there.

[19:8]  ² tn Heb “all its smitings.” This word has been used several times for the metaphorical “wounds” that Israel has suffered as a result of the blows from its enemies. See, e.g., 14:17. It is used in the Hebrew Bible of scourging, both literally and metaphorically (cf. Deut 25:3; Isa 10:26), and of slaughter and defeat (1 Sam 4:10; Josh 10:20). Here it refers to the results of the crushing blows at the hands of her enemies which has made her the object of scorn.

[20:4]  ³ tn Heb “I will make you an object of terror to both you and your friends.”

[20:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “And they will fall by the sword of their enemies and [with] your eyes seeing [it].”
