Yeremia 4:18
Konteks4:18 “The way you have lived and the things you have done 1
will bring this on you.
This is the punishment you deserve, and it will be painful indeed. 2
The pain will be so bad it will pierce your heart.” 3
Yeremia 7:5
Konteks7:5 You must change 4 the way you have been living and do what is right. You must treat one another fairly. 5
[4:18] 1 tn Heb “Your way and your deeds.”
[4:18] 3 tn Heb “Indeed, it reaches to your heart.” The subject must be the pain alluded to in the last half of the preceding line; the verb is masculine, agreeing with the adjective translated “painful.” The only other possible antecedent “punishment” is feminine.
[7:5] 4 tn The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.
[7:5] 5 tn Heb “you must do justice between a person and his fellow/neighbor.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.
