Jeremiah 49:38
New English Translation
38 I will establish my sovereignty over Elam.[a]
I will destroy their king and their leaders,”[b] says the Lord.[c]
Footnotes
- Jeremiah 49:38 tn Or “I will sit in judgment over Elam”; Heb “I will set up my throne in Elam.” Commentators are divided over whether this refers to a king sitting in judgment over his captured enemies or whether it refers to his formally establishing his rule over the country. Those who argue for the former idea point to the supposed parallels in 1:15 (which the present translation understands not to refer to this but to setting up siege) and 43:8-13. The parallelism in the verse here, however, argues that it refers to the Lord taking over the reins of government by destroying the former leaders.
- Jeremiah 49:38 tn Heb “I will destroy king and leaders from there.”
- Jeremiah 49:38 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”
