Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 25:6 tn Heb “follow after.” See the translator’s note on 2:5 for this idiom.
  2. Jeremiah 25:6 tn Heb “make me angry with the work of your hands.” The phrase “work of your hands” is often interpreted as a reference to idolatry, as is clearly the case in Isa 2:8 and 37:19. However, the parallelism in 25:14 and the context in 32:30 show that it is more general and refers to what they have done. That is likely the meaning here as well.

Do not follow other gods(A) to serve and worship them; do not arouse my anger with what your hands have made. Then I will not harm you.”
