Footnotes

  1. 74 These words are not in the text but are supplied in the translation for clarity. Some takes these words to be the continuation of the Lord’s commission of Jeremiah to the task of testing them. However, since this is the evaluation, the task appears to be complete. The words are better to be taken as Jeremiah’s report after he has completed the task.
  2. 75 Or “arch rebels,” or “hardened rebels.” Literally “rebels of rebels.”
