Jeremiah 2:33
Context2:33 “My, how good you have become
at chasing after your lovers! 1
Why, you could even teach prostitutes a thing or two! 2
Jeremiah 3:13
Context3:13 However, you must confess that you have done wrong, 3
and that you have rebelled against the Lord your God.
You must confess 4 that you have given yourself to 5 foreign gods under every green tree,
and have not obeyed my commands,’ says the Lord.


[2:33] 1 tn Heb “How good you have made your ways to seek love.”
[2:33] 2 tn Heb “so that even the wicked women you teach your ways.”
[3:13] 3 tn Heb “Only acknowledge your iniquity.”
[3:13] 4 tn The words “You must confess” are repeated to convey the connection. The Hebrew text has an introductory “that” in front of the second line and a coordinative “and” in front of the next two lines.
[3:13] 5 tc MT reads דְּרָכַיִךְ (dÿrakhayikh, “your ways”), but the BHS editors suggest דּוֹדַיִךְ (dodayikh, “your breasts”) as an example of orthographic confusion. While the proposal makes sense, it remains a conjectural emendation since it is not supported by any actual manuscripts or ancient versions.
