Jeremiah 10:13

Context

10:13 When his voice thunders, 1  the heavenly ocean roars.

He makes the clouds rise from the far-off horizons. 2 

He makes the lightning flash out in the midst of the rain.

He unleashes the wind from the places where he stores it. 3

[10:13]  1 tn Heb “At the voice of his giving.” The idiom “to give the voice” is often used for thunder (cf. BDB 679 s.v. נָתַן Qal.1.x).

[10:13]  2 tn Heb “from the ends of the earth.”

[10:13]  3 tn Heb “he brings out the winds from his storehouses.”

[21:2]  4 tn The verb used here is often used of seeking information through a prophet (e.g., 2 Kgs 1:16; 8:8) and hence many translate “inquire of the Lord for us.” However, it is obvious from the following that they were not seeking information but help. The word is also used for that in Pss 34:4 (34:5 HT); 77:2 (77:3 HT).

[21:2]  5 tn The dominant spelling of this name is actually Nebuchadrezzar which is closer to his Babylonian name Nebu kudduri uzzur. An alternate spelling which is found 6 times in the book of Jeremiah and 17 times elsewhere is Nebuchadnezzar which is the form of the name that is usually used in English versions.

[21:2]  6 tn Heb “Perhaps the Lord will do according to his miracles that he may go up from against us.”
