Jeremiah 6:26

Context

6:26 So I said, 1  “Oh, my dear people, 2  put on sackcloth

and roll in ashes.

Mourn with painful sobs

as though you had lost your only child.

For any moment now 3  that destructive army 4 

will come against us.”

Jeremiah 46:19

Context

46:19 Pack your bags for exile,

you inhabitants of poor dear Egypt. 5 

For Memphis will be laid waste.

It will lie in ruins 6  and be uninhabited.

[6:26]  1 tn These words are not in the text but are implicit from the context.

[6:26]  2 tn Heb “daughter of my people.” For the translation given here see 4:11 and the translator’s note there.

[6:26]  3 tn Heb “suddenly.”

[6:26]  4 tn Heb “the destroyer.”

[46:19]  5 tn Heb “inhabitants of daughter Egypt.” Like the phrase “daughter Zion,” “daughter Egypt” is a poetic personification of the land, here perhaps to stress the idea of defenselessness.

[46:19]  6 tn For the verb here see HALOT 675 s.v. II נָצָה Nif and compare the usage in Jer 4:7; 9:11 and 2 Kgs 19:25. BDB derives the verb from יָצַת (so BDB 428 s.v. יָצַת Niph meaning “kindle, burn”) but still give it the meaning “desolate” here and in 2:15 and 9:11.
