Jeremiah 17:14

so that I may be rescued,[a] for you give me reason to praise![b]
Footnotes
- Jeremiah 17:14 tn The translation fills in the details of the metaphor from a preceding context (15:18) and from the following context (17:18). The literal translation, “Heal me, and I will be healed; rescue me, and I will be rescued,” does not make much sense if these details are not filled in. The metaphor is filled in for clarity for the average reader.
- Jeremiah 17:14 tn Heb “you are my praise.”
