Yeremia 11:7

11:7 For I solemnly warned your ancestors to obey me. ¹  I warned them again and again, ²  ever since I delivered them out of Egypt until this very day.

Yeremia 11:11

11:11 So I, the Lord, say this: ³  ‘I will soon bring disaster on them which they will not be able to escape! When they cry out to me for help, I will not listen to them.

[11:7]  ¹ tn Heb “warned them…saying, ‘Obey me.’” However, it allows the long sentence to be broken up easier if the indirect quote is used.

[11:7]  ² tn For the explanation for this rendering see the note on 7:13.

[11:11]  ³ tn Heb “Therefore, thus, says the Lord.” The person has been shifted in the translation in accordance with the difference between Hebrew and English style.
