Jeremiah 4:27

4:27 All this will happen because the Lord said,

“The whole land will be desolate;

however, I will not completely destroy it.

Jeremiah 6:8

6:8 So take warning, Jerusalem,

or I will abandon you in disgust

and make you desolate,

a place where no one can live.”


tn Heb “For this is what the Lord said,”

tn This word is not in the text but is supplied in the translation. Jeremiah uses a figure of speech (enallage) where the speaker turns from talking about someone to address him/her directly.

tn Heb “lest my soul [= I] becomes disgusted with you.”
