| NET Notes |
1 tn The word “mourn” is not in the text. It is supplied in the translation for clarity to explain the significance of the words “Cut your hair and throw it away.” 1 sn Cf. Mic 1:16; Job 1:20 for other examples of this practice which was involved in mourning. 2 tn The words, “you people of this nation” are not in the text. Many English versions supply, “Jerusalem.” The address shifts from second masculine singular addressing Jeremiah (vv. 27-28a) to second feminine singular. It causes less disruption in the flow of the context to see the nation as a whole addressed here as a feminine singular entity (as, e.g., in 2:19, 23; 3:2, 3; 6:26) than to introduce a new entity, Jerusalem. 3 tn The verbs here are the Hebrew scheduling perfects. For this use of the perfect see GKC 312 §106.m. 4 tn Heb “the generation of his wrath.” |
