1 Samuel 15:11

15:11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from me and has not done what I told him to do.” Samuel became angry and he cried out to the Lord all that night.

1 Samuel 15:35

15:35 Until the day he ¹  died Samuel did not see Saul again. Samuel did, however, mourn for Saul, but the Lord regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.

Jeremiah 7:16

7:16 Then the Lord said, ²  “As for you, Jeremiah, ³  do not pray for these people! Do not cry out to me or petition me on their behalf! Do not plead with me to save them, ⁴  because I will not listen to you.

Jeremiah 11:14

11:14 So, Jeremiah, ⁵  do not pray for these people. Do not cry out to me or petition me on their behalf. Do not plead with me to save them. ⁶  For I will not listen to them when they call out to me for help when disaster strikes them.” ⁷ 

¹ tn That is, Samuel.

² tn The words “Then the Lord said” are not in the text but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “As for you.” The personal name Jeremiah is supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn The words “to save them” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “you.”

⁶ tn The words “to save them” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tc The rendering “when disaster strikes them” is based on reading “at the time of” (בְּעֵת, bÿ’et) with a number of Hebrew mss and the versions instead of “on account of” (בְּעַד, bÿ’ad). W. L. Holladay (Jeremiah [Hermeneia], 1:347) is probably right in assuming that the MT has been influenced by “for them” (בַעֲדָם, va’adam) earlier in the verse.
