Yeremia 17:18

17:18 May those who persecute me be disgraced.

Do not let me be disgraced.

May they be dismayed.

Do not let me be dismayed.

Bring days of disaster on them.

Bring on them the destruction they deserve.” ¹ 

Yeremia 22:21

22:21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning. ² 

But you said, “I refuse to listen to you.”

That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward. ³ 

Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.

[17:18]  ¹ tn Or “complete destruction.” See the translator’s note on 16:18.

[17:18]  sn Jeremiah now does what he says he has not wanted to do or been hasty to do. He is, however, seeking his own vindication and that of God whose threats they have belittled.

[22:21]  ² tn Heb “I spoke to you in your security.” The reference is to the sending of the prophets. Compare this context with the context of 7:25. For the nuance “security” for this noun (שַׁלְוָה, shalvah) rather than “prosperity” as many translate see Pss 122:7; 30:6 and the related adjective (שָׁלֵו, shalev) in Jer 49:31; Job 16:2; 21:23.

[22:21]  ³ tn Heb “from your youth.” Compare the usage in 2:2; 3:24 and compare a similar idea in 7:25.
