Footnotes

  1. 30 Heb “But thus says the Lord about.” The words “just listen to what” are supplied in the translation to help show the connection with the preceding. Jeremiah answers their claims that the Lord has raised up prophets to encourage them that their stay will be short by referring to the Lord’s promise that the Lord’s plans are not for restoration but for further destruction.
  2. 31 The words “of Jerusalem” are not in the text but are supplied in the translation to identify the referent and avoid the possible confusion that “this city” refers to Babylon.
