NETBible

Because of that,¹ the Lord, the God who rules over all,² said to me,³ “Because these people have spoken⁴ like this,⁵ I will make the words that I put in your mouth like fire. And I will make this people like wood which the fiery judgments you speak will burn up.”⁶

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “Therefore.”

²tn Heb “The Lord God of armies.” See the translator’s note at 2:19.

²sn Here the emphasis appears to be on the fact that the Lord is in charge of the enemy armies whom he will use to punish Israel for their denial of his prior warnings through the prophets.

³tn The words, “to me” are not in the text but are implicit in the connection. They are supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁴tn Heb “you have spoken.” The text here דַּבֶּרְכֶם (dabberkhem, “you have spoken”) is either a case of a scribal error for דַּבֶּרָם (dabberam, “they have spoken”) or an example of the rapid shift in addressee which is common in Jeremiah.

⁵tn Heb “this word.”

⁶tn Heb “like wood and it [i.e., the fire I put in your mouth] will consume them.”
