34:17So I, the Lord, say: “You have not really obeyed me and granted freedom to your neighbor and fellow countryman.31 Therefore, I will grant you freedom, the freedom32 to die in war, or by starvation or disease. I, the Lord, affirm it!33 I will make all the kingdoms of the earth horrified at what happens to you.34
Footnotes
- 31 The Hebrew text has a compound object, the two terms of which have been synonyms in vv. 14, 15. G. L. Keown, P. J. Scalise, and T. G. Smothers (Jeremiah 26–52 [], ) make the interesting observation that these two terms (Heb “brother” and “neighbor”) emphasize the relationships that should have taken precedence over their being viewed as mere slaves.
- 32 This is, of course, a metaphorical and ironical use of the term “to grant freedom to.” It is, however, a typical statement of the concept of talionic justice which is quite often operative in God’s judgments in the OT (cf., e.g., Obad 15).
- 33 Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
- 34 Compare Jer 15:4; 24:9; 29:18.
