Yesaya 43:18

43:18 “Don’t remember these earlier events; ¹ 

don’t recall these former events.

Yeremia 3:16

3:16 In those days, your population will greatly increase ²  in the land. At that time,” says the Lord, “people will no longer talk about having the ark ³  that contains the Lord’s covenant with us. ⁴  They will not call it to mind, remember it, or miss it. No, that will not be done any more! ⁵ 

Yeremia 7:17

7:17 Do you see ⁶  what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? ⁷ 

[43:18]  ¹ tn Heb “the former things” (so KJV, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NLT “forget all that.”

[3:16]  ² tn Heb “you will become numerous and fruitful.”

[3:16]  ³ tn Or “chest.”

[3:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “the ark of the covenant.” It is called this because it contained the tables of the law which in abbreviated form constituted their covenant obligations to the Lord, cf. Exod 31:18; 32:15; 34:29.

[3:16]  ⁵ tn Or “Nor will another one be made”; Heb “one will not do/make [it?] again.”

[7:17]  ⁶ tn Or “Just look at…” The question is rhetorical and expects a positive answer.
