28:13 “Go and tell Hananiah that the Lord says, ¹  ‘You have indeed broken the wooden yoke. But you have ²  only succeeded in replacing it with an iron one! ³ 

Jeremiah 51:51

51:51 ‘We ⁴  are ashamed because we have been insulted. ⁵ 

Our faces show our disgrace. ⁶ 

For foreigners have invaded

the holy rooms ⁷  in the Lord’s temple.’

[28:13]  ¹ tn Heb “Hananiah, ‘Thus says the Lord….” The translation uses an indirect quotation here used to eliminate one level of embedded quotation.

[28:13]  ² tn The Greek version reads “I have made/put” rather than “you have made/put.” This is the easier reading and is therefore rejected.

[28:13]  ³ tn Heb “the yoke bars of wood you have broken, but you have made in its stead yoke bars of iron.”

[51:51]  ⁴ sn The exiles lament the way they have been humiliated.

[51:51]  ⁵ tn Heb “we have heard an insult.”

[51:51]  ⁶ tn Heb “disgrace covers our face.”

[51:51]  ⁷ tn Or “holy places, sanctuaries.”
