Isaiah 21:6

21:6 For this is what the sovereign master ¹  has told me:

“Go, post a guard!

He must report what he sees.

Jeremiah 37:17

37:17 Then King Zedekiah had him brought to the palace. There he questioned him privately and asked him, ²  “Is there any message from the Lord?” Jeremiah answered, “Yes, there is.” Then he announced, ³  “You will be handed over to the king of Babylon.” ⁴ 

¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “sovereign master” here and in vv. 8, 16 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

² tn Heb “Then King Zedekiah sent and brought him and the king asked him privately [or more literally, in secret] and said.”

³ tn Heb “Then he said.”

⁴ sn Jeremiah’s answer even under duress was the same that he had given Zedekiah earlier. (See Jer 34:3 and see the study note on 34:1 for the relative timing of these two incidents.)
