Jeremiah 16:8

16:8 “‘Do not go to a house where people are feasting and sit down to eat and drink with them either.

Jeremiah 29:5

29:5 ‘Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat what they produce.

Jeremiah 48:43

48:43 Terror, pits, and traps ¹  are in store

for the people who live in Moab. ² 

I, the Lord, affirm it! ³ 

[48:43]  ¹ sn There is an extended use of assonance here and in the parallel passage in Isa 24:17. The Hebrew text reads פַּחַד וָפַחַת וָפָח (pakhad vafakhat vafakh). The assonance is intended to underscore the extensive trouble that is in store for them.

[48:43]  ² tn Heb “are upon you, inhabitant of Moab.” This is another example of the rapid switch in person or direct address (apostrophe) in the midst of a third person description or prediction which the present translation typically keeps in the third person for smoother English style.

[48:43]  ³ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
