Jeremiah 13:26
Context13:26 So I will pull your skirt up over your face
and expose you to shame like a disgraced adulteress! 1
Jeremiah 46:12
Context46:12 The nations will hear of your devastating defeat. 2
your cries of distress will echo throughout the earth.
In the panic of their flight one soldier will trip over another
and both of them will fall down defeated.” 3


[13:26] 1 tn Heb “over your face and your shame will be seen.” The words “like a disgraced adulteress” are not in the text but are supplied in the translation to explain the metaphor. See the notes on 13:22.
[46:12] 2 tn Heb “of your shame.” The “shame,” however, applies to the devastating defeat they will suffer.
[46:12] 3 tn The words “In the panic of their flight” and “defeated” are not in the text but are supplied in the translation to give clarity to the metaphor for the average reader. The verbs in this verse are all in the tense that emphasizes that the action is viewed as already having been accomplished (i.e., the Hebrew prophetic perfect). This is consistent with the vav consecutive perfects in v. 10 which look to the future.
