Yeremia 10:24

10:24 Correct us, Lord, but only in due measure. ¹ 

Do not punish us in anger or you will reduce us to nothing. ² 

Yeremia 30:11

30:11 For I, the Lord, affirm ³  that

I will be with you and will rescue you.

I will completely destroy all the nations where I scattered you.

But I will not completely destroy you.

I will indeed discipline you, but only in due measure.

I will not allow you to go entirely unpunished.” ⁴ 

[10:24]  ¹ tn Heb “with justice.”

[10:24]  ² tn The words, “to almost nothing” are not in the text. They are implicit from the general context and are supplied by almost all English versions.

[30:11]  ³ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

[30:11]  ⁴ tn The translation “entirely unpunished” is intended to reflect the emphatic construction of the infinitive absolute before the finite verb.
