Jeremiah 17:9

17:9 The human mind is more deceitful than anything else.

It is incurably bad. ¹  Who can understand it?

Jeremiah 35:10

35:10 We have lived in tents. We have obeyed our ancestor Jonadab and done exactly as he commanded us. ² 

Jeremiah 36:13

36:13 Micaiah told them everything he had heard Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people. ³ 

[17:9]  ¹ tn Or “incurably deceitful”; Heb “It is incurable.” For the word “deceitful” compare the usage of the verb in Gen 27:36 and a related noun in 2 Kgs 10:19. For the adjective “incurable” compare the usage in Jer 15:18. It is most commonly used with reference to wounds or of pain. In Jer 17:16 it is used metaphorically for a “woeful day” (i.e., day of irreparable devastation).

[35:10]  ² tn Heb “We have obeyed and done according to all which our ancestor Jonadab commanded us.”

[36:13]  ³ tn Heb “Micaiah reported to them all the words which he heard when Baruch read from the scroll in the ears of the people.”
