Yeremia 3:3
Konteks3:3 That is why the rains have been withheld,
and the spring rains have not come.
Yet in spite of this you are obstinate as a prostitute. 1
You refuse to be ashamed of what you have done.
Yeremia 46:7
Konteks46:7 “Who is this that rises like the Nile,
like its streams 2 turbulent at flood stage?
[3:3] 1 tn Heb “you have the forehead of a prostitute.”
[46:7] 2 tn The word translated “streams” here refers to the streams of the Nile (cf. Exod 7:19; 8:1) for parallel usage.
[46:7] sn The hubris of the Egyptian Pharaoh is referred to in vv. 7-8 as he compares his might to that of the Nile River whose annual flooding was responsible for the fertility of Egypt. A very similar picture of the armies of Assyria overcoming everything in its path is presented in Isa 8:7-8.
