12:6As a matter of fact,18 even your own brothers
and the members of your own family have betrayed you too.
Even they have plotted to do away with you.19
So do not trust them even when they say kind things20 to you.
Footnotes
- 18 This is an attempt to give some contextual sense to the particle “for, indeed” (כִּי, ki). If the truth be known, Jeremiah wasn’t safe even in the context of his own family. They were apparently part of the plot by the people of Anathoth to kill him.
- 19 Heb “they have called after you fully”; or “have lifted up loud voices against you.” The word “against” does not seem quite adequate for the preposition “after.” The preposition “against” would be Hebrew עַל (’al). The idea appears to be that they are chasing after him, raising their voices along with those of the conspirators to have him killed.
- 20 Heb “good things.” See 373 II טוֹב 2 for this nuance and compare Prov 12:25 for usage.
