Jeremiah 30:9

30:9 But they will be subject ¹  to the Lord their God

and to the Davidic ruler whom I will raise up as king over them. ² 

Jeremiah 36:19

36:19 Then the officials said to Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must go and hide. You must not let anyone know where you are.” ³ 

Jeremiah 49:38

49:38 I will establish my sovereignty over Elam. ⁴ 

I will destroy their king and their leaders,” ⁵  says the Lord. ⁶ 

Jeremiah 52:10

52:10 The king of Babylon had Zedekiah’s sons put to death while Zedekiah was forced to watch. He also had all the nobles of Judah put to death there at Riblah.

[30:9]  ¹ tn The word “subject” in this verse and “subjugate” are from the same root word in Hebrew. A deliberate contrast is drawn between the two powers that they will serve.

[30:9]  ² tn Heb “and to David their king whom I will raise up for them.”

[36:19]  ³ tn The verbs here are both direct imperatives but it sounds awkward to say “You and Jeremiah, go and hide” in contemporary English. The same force is accomplished by phrasing the statement as strong advice.

[49:38]  ⁵ tn Or “I will sit in judgment over Elam”; Heb “I will set up my throne in Elam.” Commentators are divided over whether this refers to a king sitting in judgment over his captured enemies or whether it refers to formally establishing his rule over the country. Those who argue for the former idea point to the supposed parallels in 1:15 (which the present translation understands not to refer to this but to setting up siege) and 43:8-13. The parallelism in the verse here, however, argues that it refers to the Lord taking over the reins of government by destroying their former leaders.

[49:38]  ⁶ tn Heb “I will destroy king and leaders from there.”

[49:38]  ⁷ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
