Footnotes
- 4 Heb “by sword, by starvation, or by disease.”
- 5 Heb “those who go out to the Chaldeans.” For the rendering “Babylonians” for “Chaldeans” see the study note on .
- 6 Heb “his life will be to him for spoil and he will live.” For the meaning of this idiom see the study note on . The words and “he will live” have been left out of the translation because they are redundant after “will live” and “they will escape with their lives.” See Jer 21:9 for this prophecy.
- 7 The words “They had also heard him say,” are not in the Hebrew text. They are supplied in the translation for clarity so as to avoid any possible confusion that might be created by saying merely “And the Lord says,” without any introduction.
- 8 See Jer 21:10; 32:28; 34:2; 37:8 for this same prophecy. Jeremiah had repeatedly said this or words to the same effect.
