Jeremiah 10:24

10:24 Correct us, Lord, but only in due measure. ¹ 

Do not punish us in anger or you will reduce us to nothing. ² 

Jeremiah 25:37

25:37 Their peaceful dwelling places will be laid waste ³ 

by the fierce anger of the Lord. ⁴ 

[10:24]  ¹ tn Heb “with justice.”

[10:24]  ² tn The words, “to almost nothing” are not in the text. They are implicit from the general context and are supplied by almost all English versions.

[25:37]  ³ tn For this meaning of the verb used here see HALOT 217 s.v. דָּמַם Nif. Elsewhere it refers to people dying (see, e.g., Jer 49:26; 50:30) hence some see a reference to “lifeless.”

[25:37]  ⁴ tn Heb “because of the burning anger of the Lord.”
