on the hills and mountains did not help us. ¹

is the only one who can deliver Israel. ² 

Yeremia 48:35

to those who make offerings at her places of worship. ³

I, the Lord, affirm it! ⁴ 

[3:23]  ¹ tn Heb “Truly in vain from the hills the noise/commotion [and from] the mountains.” The syntax of the Hebrew sentence is very elliptical here.

[3:23]  ² tn Heb “Truly in the Lord our God is deliverance for Israel.”

[48:35]  ³ tn Heb “high place[s].” For the meaning and significance of this term see the study note on 7:31.

[48:35]  ⁴ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
