1 Raja-raja 9:6

9:6 “But if you or your sons ever turn away from me, fail to obey the regulations and rules I instructed you to keep, ¹  and decide to serve and worship other gods, ² 

Yeremia 22:5

22:5 But, if you do not obey these commands, I solemnly swear ³  that this palace will become a pile of rubble. I, the Lord, affirm it!” ⁴ 

[9:6]  ¹ tn Heb “which I placed before you.”

[9:6]  ² tn Heb “and walk and serve other gods and bow down to them.”

[22:5]  ³ sn Heb “I swear by myself.” Oaths were guaranteed by invoking the name of a god or swearing by “his life.” See Jer 12:16; 44:26. Since the Lord is incomparably great, he could swear by no higher (see Heb 6:13-16) than to swear by himself or his own great name.

[22:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
