35:12 Then the Lord spoke to Jeremiah.

[23:37]  ¹ tn See the note on v. 35.

[31:17]  ² tn For this nuance for the Hebrew word אַחֲרִית (’akharit) see BDB 31 s.v. אַחֲרִית d and compare usage in Pss 37:38; 109:13. Others translate “your future” but the “future” lies with the return of her descendants, her posterity.
