Jeremiah 32:41

32:41 I will take delight in doing good to them. I will faithfully and wholeheartedly plant them ¹  firmly in the land.’

Jeremiah 24:6

24:6 I will look after their welfare ²  and will restore them to this land. There I will build them up and will not tear them down. I will plant them firmly in the land ³  and will not uproot them. ⁴ 

[32:41]  ¹ tn Heb “will plant them in the land with faithfulness with all my heart and with all my soul.” The latter expressions are, of course, anthropomorphisms (see Deut 6:5).

[24:6]  ² tn Heb “I will set my eyes upon them for good.” For the nuance of “good” see Jer 21:10; Amos 9:4 (in these cases the opposite of harm; see BDB 375 s.v. טוֹבָה 1).

[24:6]  ³ tn The words “There” and “firmly in the land” are not in the text but are implicit from the connection and the metaphor. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[24:6]  ⁴ sn For these terms see Jer 1:10.
