Jeremiah 22:27

King James Version

²⁷But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.

Jeremiah 22:27

English Standard Version

²⁷But to the land to which they will long to return, there they shall not return.”

²⁷You will never come back to this land that you will long to return to!^[a]

Jeremiah 22:27 tn Heb “And unto the land to which they lift up their souls to return there, there they will not return.” Once again there is a sudden shift in person from the second plural to the third plural. As before, the translation levels the pronouns to avoid confusion. For the idiom “to lift up the soul to” = “to long/yearn to,” see BDB 670 s.v. נָשָׂא 1.b(9).
