Deuteronomy 31:21

31:21 Then when ³  many disasters and distresses overcome them ⁴  this song will testify against them, ⁵  for their ⁶  descendants will not forget it. ⁷  I know the ⁸  intentions they have in mind ⁹  today, even before I bring them ¹⁰  to the land I have promised.”

Jeremiah 29:13

¹ tn Or “mind and being.” See Deut 6:5.

² tn Heb “commanding.”

³ tn Heb “Then it will come to pass that.”

⁴ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁵ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁶ tn Heb “his.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “their.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁷ tn Heb “it will not be forgotten from the mouth of his seed.”

⁸ tn Heb “his.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “their.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

⁹ tn Heb “which he is doing.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “him.” Smr, LXX, and the Targums read the plural “them.” See note on the first occurrence of “they” in v. 16.

¹¹ tn Or “If you wholeheartedly seek me”; Heb “You will seek me and find [me] because you will seek me with all your heart.” The translation attempts to reflect the theological nuances of “seeking” and “finding” and the psychological significance of “heart” which refers more to intellectual and volitional concerns in the OT than to emotional ones.
