NET Notes

¹tn Heb “will turn from his wicked way.”

²tn For the idiom and translation of terms involved here see 18:8 and the translator’s note there.

²sn The Lord is being consistent in the application of the principle laid down in Jer 18:7-8 that reformation of character will result in the withdrawal of the punishment of “uprooting, tearing down, destroying.” His prophecies of doom are conditional threats, open to change with change in behavior.

³tn Heb “because of the wickedness of their deeds.”
