Yeremia 8:19
Konteks8:19 I hear my dear people 1 crying out 2
throughout the length and breadth of the land. 3
They are crying, ‘Is the Lord no longer in Zion?
Is her divine King 4 no longer there?’”
The Lord answers, 5
“Why then do they provoke me to anger with their images,
with their worthless foreign idols?” 6
Yeremia 14:12
Konteks14:12 Even if they fast, I will not hear their cries for help. Even if they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. 7 Instead, I will kill them through wars, famines, and plagues.” 8
Yeremia 47:2
Konteks47:2 “Look! Enemies are gathering in the north like water rising in a river. 9
They will be like an overflowing stream.
They will overwhelm the whole country and everything in it like a flood.
They will overwhelm the cities and their inhabitants.
People will cry out in alarm.
Everyone living in the country will cry out in pain.

[8:19] 1 tn Heb “daughter of my people.” For the translation given here see 4:11 and the note on the phrase “dear people” there.
[8:19] 2 tn Heb “Behold the voice of the crying of the daughter of my people.”
[8:19] 3 tn Heb “Land of distances, i.e., of wide extent.” For parallel usage cf. Isa 33:17.

[14:12] sn These were penalties (curses) that were to be imposed on Israel for failure to keep her covenant with God (cf. Lev 26:23-26). These three occur together fourteen other times in the book of Jeremiah.
[47:2] 9 tn Heb “Behold! Waters are rising from the north.” The metaphor of enemy armies compared to overflowing water is seen also in Isa 8:8-9 (Assyria) and 46:7-8 (Egypt). Here it refers to the foe from the north (Jer 1:14; 4:6; etc) which is specifically identified with Babylon in Jer 25. The metaphor has been turned into a simile in the translation to help the average reader identify that a figure is involved and to hint at the referent.
