Yesaya 9:16

9:16 The leaders of this nation were misleading people,

and the people being led were destroyed. ¹ 

Yeremia 16:5

16:5 “Moreover I, the Lord, tell you: ²  ‘Do not go into a house where they are having a funeral meal. Do not go there to mourn and express your sorrow for them. For I have stopped showing them my good favor, ³  my love, and my compassion. I, the Lord, so affirm it! ⁴ 

[9:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and the ones being led were swallowed up.” Instead of taking מְבֻלָּעִים (mÿbulla’im) from בָּלַע (bala’, “to swallow”), HALOT 134 s.v. בלע proposes a rare homonymic root בלע (“confuse”) here.

[16:5]  ² tn Heb “For thus says the Lord…”

[16:5]  ³ tn Heb “my peace.” The Hebrew word שְׁלוֹמִי (shÿlomi) can be translated “peace, prosperity” or “well-being” (referring to wholeness or health of body and soul).

[16:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
