Jeremiah 33:9

33:9 All the nations will hear about all the good things which I will do to them. This city will bring me fame, honor, and praise before them for the joy that I bring it. The nations will tremble in awe at all the peace and prosperity that I will provide for it.’ 7

1 sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.

2 tn Heb “instead of your shame, a double portion.”

3 tn Heb “and [instead of] humiliation they will rejoice [over] their portion.” The term תָחָת (takhat, “instead of”) is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

4 tn Heb “therefore” (so KJV, NASB); NIV “and so.”

5 tn “Jerusalem” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons; note the following line.

6 tn Heb “[the object of] praise.”

7 tn Heb “And it [the city] will be to me for a name for joy and for praise and for honor before all the nations of the earth which will hear of all the good things which I will do for them and which will be in awe and tremble for all the good things and all the peace [or prosperity] which I will do for them.” The long complex Hebrew sentence has been broken down to better conform with contemporary English style.
