Jeremiah 18:23
New English Translation
23 But you, Lord, know
all their plots to kill me.
Do not pardon their crimes!
Do not ignore their sins as though you had erased them.[a]
Let them be brought down in defeat before you.
Deal with them while you are still angry![b]
Footnotes
- Jeremiah 18:23 sn Heb “Do not blot out their sins from before you.” For this anthropomorphic figure that looks at God’s actions as though connected with record books, i.e., a book of wrongdoings to be punished and a book of life for those who are to live, see, e.g., Exod 32:32, 33, Pss 51:1 (51:3 HT); and 69:28 (69:29 HT).
- Jeremiah 18:23 tn Heb “in the time of your anger.”
