16:18Before I restore them22 I will punish them in full23 for their sins and the wrongs they have done. For they have polluted my land with the lifeless statues of their disgusting idols. They have filled the land I have claimed as my own24 with their detestable idols.”25
Footnotes
- 22 Heb “First.” Many English versions and commentaries delete this word because it is missing from the Greek version and is considered a gloss added by a postexilic editor who is said to be responsible also for vv. 14–16. This is not the place to resolve issues of authorship and date. It is the task of the translator to translate the “original” which in this case is the supported by the other versions. The word here refers to order in rank or order of events. Compare Gen 38:28; 1 Kgs 18:25. Here allusion is made to the restoration previously mentioned. First in order of events is the punishment of destruction and exile, then restoration.
- 23 Heb “double.” However, usage in Deut 15:18 and probably Isa 40:2 argues for “full compensation.” This is supported also by usage in a tablet from Alalakh in Syria. See P. C. Craigie, P. H. Kelley, J. F. Drinkard, Jeremiah 1–25 (), , for bibliography.
- 24 Heb “my inheritance.” For earlier references to the term used here see Jer 2:7 where it applies as here to the land, Jer 10:16; 12:8–9 where it applies to the people, and Jer 12:7 where it applies to the temple.
- 25 Many of the English versions take “lifeless statues of their detestable idols” with “filled” as a compound object. This follows the Masoretic punctuation but violates usage. The verb “fill” never takes an object preceded by the preposition בְּ (bet).
