and was angry with his chosen nation. ⁵

Yeremia 6:11

6:11 I am as full of anger as you are, Lord, ⁹ 

I am tired of trying to hold it in.”

The Lord answered, ¹⁰ 

“Vent it, then, ¹¹  on the children who play in the street

as well as the old and those who are advanced in years.

[32:25]  ¹ tn A verb is omitted here in the Hebrew text; for purposes of English style one suitable to the context is supplied.

[32:2]  ² tn Or “mist,” “light drizzle.” In some contexts the term appears to refer to light rain, rather than dew.

[1:17]  ³ tc The words “the sons of Aram” do not appear in the Hebrew text. Apparently the phrase וּבְנֵי אֲרָם (uvÿney ’aram) has accidentally dropped out of the text by homoioteleuton (note the presence of אֲרָם just before this). The phrase is included in Gen 10:23.

[1:17]  ⁴ tc The MT of the parallel geneaology in Gen 10:23 reads “Mash,” but the LXX there reads “Meshech” in agreement with 1 Chr 1:17.

[78:62]  ⁵ tn Heb “his inheritance.”

[78:63]  ⁶ tn Heb “his.” The singular pronominal suffix is collective, referring back to God’s “people” (v. 62).

[78:63]  ⁷ tn Heb “his.” The singular pronominal suffix is collective, referring back to God’s “people” (v. 62).

[78:63]  ⁸ tn Heb “were not praised,” that is, in wedding songs. The young men died in masses, leaving no husbands for the young women.

[6:11]  ⁹ tn Heb “I am full of the wrath of the Lord.”

[6:11]  ¹⁰ tn These words are not in the text but are implicit from the words that follow. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[6:11]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Pour it out.”

[6:11]  ¹² tn Heb “are to be captured.”
