Jeremiah 3:13

Context

3:13 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.
