Jeremiah 22:26

22:26 I will force you and your mother who gave you birth into exile. You will be exiled to ¹  a country where neither of you were born, and you will both die there.

Jeremiah 30:6

30:6 Ask yourselves this and consider it carefully: ² 

Have you ever seen a man give birth to a baby?

Why then do I see all these strong men

grabbing their stomachs in pain like ³  a woman giving birth?

And why do their faces

turn so deathly pale?

¹ tn Heb “I will hurl you and your mother…into another land where…” The verb used here is very forceful. It is the verb used for Saul throwing a spear at David (1 Sam 18:11) and for the Lord unleashing a violent storm on the sea (Jonah 1:4). It is used both here and in v. 28 for the forceful exile of Jeconiah and his mother.

² tn Heb “Ask and see/consider.”

³ tn Heb “with their hands on their loins.” The word rendered “loins” refers to the area between the ribs and the thighs.
