[16:9]  ¹ tn Heb “For thus says Yahweh of armies the God of Israel.” The introductory formula which appears three times in vv. 1-9 (vv. 1, 3, 5) has been recast for smoother English style.

[16:9]  ² tn Heb “before your eyes and in your days.” The pronouns are plural including others than Jeremiah.

[18:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “the voice of my adversaries.”

[50:22]  ⁵ tn The words “of Babylonia” are not in the text but are implicit from the context. They have been supplied in the translation to clarify the referent.
