Jeremiah 18:18

Context
Jeremiah Petitions the Lord to Punish Those Who Attack Him

18:18 Then some people 1  said, “Come on! Let us consider how to deal with Jeremiah! 2  There will still be priests to instruct us, wise men to give us advice, and prophets to declare God’s word. 3  Come on! Let’s bring charges against him and get rid of him! 4  Then we will not need to pay attention to anything he says.”

Malachi 2:5-7

Context
2:5 “My covenant with him was designed to bring life and peace. I gave its statutes to him to fill him with awe, and he indeed revered me and stood in awe before me. 2:6 He taught what was true; 5  sinful words were not found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and integrity, and he turned many people away from sin. 2:7 For the lips of a priest should preserve knowledge of sacred things, and people should seek instruction from him 6  because he is the messenger of the Lord who rules over all.

[18:18]  1 tn Heb “They.” The referent is unidentified; “some people” has been used in the translation.

[18:18]  2 tn Heb “Let us make plans against Jeremiah.” See 18:18 where this has sinister overtones as it does here.

[18:18]  3 tn Heb “Instruction will not perish from priest, counsel from the wise, word from the prophet.”

[18:18]  4 tn Heb “Let us smite him with our tongues.” It is clear from the context that this involved plots to kill him.

[2:6]  5 tn Heb “True teaching was in his mouth”; cf. NASB, NRSV “True instruction (doctrine NAB) was in his mouth.”

[2:7]  6 tn Heb “from his mouth” (so NAB, NASB, NRSV).
