- 44 Heb “The Chaldeans.” See the study note on for further explanation.
- 45 Heb “And the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it because of the sword, starvation, and disease.” The verb “has been given” is one of those perfects that view the action as good as done (the perfect of certainty or prophetic perfect).
- 46 The word “Lord” is not in the text but is supplied in the translation as a reminder that it is he who is being addressed.
- 47 Heb “And what you said has happened and behold you see it.”
- 48 Heb “The Chaldeans.” See the study note on for further explanation.
- 49 Heb “And you, Lord Yahweh, have said to me, ‘Buy the field for …’ even though the city will be given into the hands of the Babylonians.” The sentence has been broken up and the order reversed for English stylistic purposes. For the rendering “is sure to fall into the hands of” see the translator’s note on the preceding verse.
- 50 Heb “Lord God.” For the rendering of this title see the study note on .
- 51 Heb “call in witnesses to witness.”

Behold, the siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and because of sword and famine and pestilence the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has come to pass, and behold, you see it. Yet you, O Lord God, have said to me, “Buy the field for money and get witnesses”—though the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.’ ”

Look! Siege ramps have come against the city to capture it, and the city, as a result of the sword, famine, and plague, has been handed over to the Chaldeans who are fighting against it.
