Jeremiah 25:6

25:6 Do not pay allegiance to ¹  other gods and worship and serve them. Do not make me angry by the things that you do. ²  Then I will not cause you any harm.’

Jeremiah 48:35

48:35 I will put an end in Moab

to those who make offerings at her places of worship. ³ 

I will put an end to those who sacrifice to other gods.

I, the Lord, affirm it! ⁴ 

[25:6]  ¹ tn Heb “follow after.” See the translator’s note on 2:5 for this idiom.

[25:6]  ² tn Heb “make me angry with the work of your hands.” The term “work of your own hands” is often interpreted as a reference to idolatry as is clearly the case in Isa 2:8; 37:19. However, the parallelism in 25:14 and the context in 32:30 show that it is more general and refers to what they have done. That is likely the meaning here as well.

[48:35]  ³ tn Heb “high place[s].” For the meaning and significance of this term see the study note on 7:31.

[48:35]  ⁴ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
