Jeremiah 13:15

13:15 Then I said to the people of Judah, ¹ 

“Listen and pay attention! Do not be arrogant!

For the Lord has spoken.

Jeremiah 18:9

18:9 And there are times when I promise to build up and establish ²  a nation or kingdom.

[13:15]  ¹ tn The words “Then I said to the people of Judah” are not in the text but are implicit from the address in v. 15 and the content of v. 17. They are supplied in the translation for clarity to show the shift from the Lord speaking to Jeremiah.

[18:9]  ² sn Heb “plant.” The terms “uproot,” “tear down,” “destroy,” “build,” and “plant” are the two sides of the ministry Jeremiah was called to (cf. Jer 1:10).
