NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “speak,” but the speaking is in the context of speaking as a prophet.

²tn Heb “I cry out, I proclaim.”

³tn Heb “Violence and destruction.”

³sn The words “Violence and destruction…” are a synopsis of his messages of judgment. Jeremiah is lamenting that his ministry up to this point has been one of judgment and has brought him nothing but ridicule because the Lord has not carried out his threats. He appears in the eyes of the people to be a false prophet.

⁴tn Heb “the word of the Lord.” For the use of כִּי…כִּי (ki…ki) here in the sense of “for…and” see KBL 432 s.v. כּי 10.
