NETBible

I said,¹ “Oh, the feeling in the pit of my stomach!² I writhe in anguish. Oh, the pain in my heart!³ My heart pounds within me. I cannot keep silent. For I hear the sound of the trumpet;⁴ the sound of the battle cry pierces my soul!⁵

NET Notes

¹tn The words “I said” are not in the text. They are used to mark the shift from the Lord’s promise of judgment to Jeremiah’s lament concerning it.

²tn Heb “My bowels! My bowels!”

³tn Heb “the walls of my heart!”

⁴tn Heb “ram’s horn,” but the modern equivalent is “trumpet” and is more readily understandable.

⁵tc The translation reflects a different division of the last two lines than that suggested by the Masoretes. The written text (the Kethib) reads “for the sound of the ram’s horn I have heard [or “you have heard,” if the form is understood as the old second feminine singular perfect] my soul” followed by “the battle cry” in the last line. The translation is based on taking “my soul” with the last line and understanding an elliptical expression “the battle cry [to] my soul.” Such an elliptical expression is in keeping with the elliptical nature of the exclamations at the beginning of the verse (cf. the literal translations of the first two lines of the verse in the notes on the words “stomach” and “heart”).
