Yeremia 1:8
Konteks1:8 Do not be afraid of those to whom I send you, 1 for I will be with you to protect 2 you,” says the Lord.
Yeremia 26:14
Konteks26:14 As to my case, I am in your power. 3 Do to me what you deem fair and proper.
Yeremia 31:25
Konteks31:25 I will fully satisfy the needs of those who are weary
and fully refresh the souls of those who are faint. 4
[1:8] 1 tn Heb “be afraid of them.” The antecedent is the “whomever” in v. 7.
[26:14] 3 tn Heb “And I, behold I am in your hand.” Hand is quite commonly used for “power” or “control” in biblical contexts.
[31:25] 4 tn The verbs here again emphasize that the actions are as good as done (i.e., they are prophetic perfects; cf. GKC 312-13 §106.n).
[31:25] sn For the concept here compare Jer 31:12 where the promise was applied to northern Israel. This represents the reversal of the conditions that would characterize the exiles according to the covenant curse of Deut 28:65-67.
