Context

Jeremiah 14:11

Context

Judgment for Believing the Misleading Lies of the False Prophets

14:11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray for good to come to these people!⁴

[11:14] ¹tn Heb “you.”

[11:14] ²tn The words “to save them” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[11:14] ³tc The rendering “when disaster strikes them” is based on reading “at the time of” (בְּעֵת, bÿ’et) with a number of Hebrew mss and the versions instead of “on account of” (בְּעַד, bÿ’ad). W. L. Holladay (Jeremiah [Hermeneia], 1:347) is probably right in assuming that the MT has been influenced by “for them” (בַעֲדָם, va’adam) earlier in the verse.

[14:11] ⁴tn Heb “on behalf of these people for benefit.”
