The Future of Bible Study Is Here.
Jeremiah 6:12
6:12 Their houses will be turned over to others
as will their fields and their wives.
For I will unleash my power38
against those who live in this land,”
says the Lord.
| 38 | tn Heb “I will reach out my hand.” This figure involves both comparing God to a person (anthropomorphism) and substitution (metonymy) where hand is put for the actions or exertions of the hand. A common use of “hand” is for the exertion of power or strength (cf. BDB 290 s.v. יָד 2 and 289–90 s.v. יָד 1.e(2); cf. Deut 34:12; Ps 78:42; Jer 16:21). |
