Jeremiah 31:14

31:14 I will provide the priests with abundant provisions. ³ 

My people will be filled to the full with the good things I provide.”

[50:10]  ¹ tn Heb “The land of the Chaldeans.” See the study note on 21:4 for explanation.

[50:10]  ² tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

[31:14]  ³ tn Heb “I will satiate the priests with fat.” However, the word translated “fat” refers literally to the fat ashes of the sacrifices (see Lev 1:16; 4:2 and cf. BDB 206 s.v. דֶּשֶׁן 2. The word is used more abstractly for “abundance” or “rich food” (see Job 36:16 and BDB 206 s.v. דֶּשֶׁן 1). The people and the priests were prohibited from eating the fat (Lev 7:23-24).
