Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 11:14 tn The name, Jeremiah, has been added for specificity.
  2. Jeremiah 11:14 sn Cf. Jer 7:16, where this same command is addressed to Jeremiah.
  3. Jeremiah 11:14 tc The rendering “when disaster strikes them” is based on reading “at the time of” (בְּעֵת, beʿet), with a number of Hebrew mss and the versions, instead of “on account of” (בְּעַד, beʿad). W. L. Holladay (Jeremiah [Hermeneia], 1:347) is probably right in assuming that the MT has been influenced by “for them” (בַעֲדָם, vaʿadam) earlier in the verse.
