Jeremiah 48:11

Context

48:11 “From its earliest days Moab has lived undisturbed.

It has never been taken into exile.

Its people are like wine allowed to settle undisturbed on its dregs,

never poured out from one jar to another.

They are like wine which tastes like it always did,

whose aroma has remained unchanged. 1 

Psalms 123:4

of the taunts of the self-assured,

of the contempt of the proud.

32:9 You complacent 3  women,

get up and listen to me!

You carefree 4  daughters,

pay attention to what I say!

Shake with fear, you carefree ones!

[48:11]  1 tn Heb “Therefore his taste remains in him and his aroma is not changed.” The metaphor is changed into a simile in an attempt to help the reader understand the figure in the context.

[123:4]  2 tn Heb “greatly our soul is full to it.”

[32:9]  3 tn Or “self-assured”; NASB, NRSV “who are at ease.”

[32:9]  4 tn Or “self-confident”; NAB “overconfident.”

[32:11]  5 tn The imperatival forms in v. 11 are problematic. The first (חִרְדוּ, khirdu, “tremble”) is masculine plural in form, though spoken to a feminine plural addressee (שַׁאֲנַנּוֹת, shaanannot, “complacent ones”). The four imperatival forms that follow (רְגָזָה, rÿgazah, “shake with fear”; פְּשֹׁטָה, pÿshotah, “strip off your clothes”; עֹרָה, ’orah, “expose yourselves”; and חֲגוֹרָה, khagorah, “put on”) all appear to be lengthened (so-called “emphatic”) masculine singular forms, even though they too appear to be spoken to a feminine plural addressee. GKC 131-32 §48.i suggests emending חִרְדוּ (khirdu) to חֲרָדָה (kharadah) and understanding all five imperatives as feminine plural “aramaized” forms.
