War,[b] starvation, and disease are sure to make the city fall into the hands of the Babylonians[c] who are attacking it.[d] Lord,[e] you threatened that this would happen. Now you can see that it is already taking place.[f]

  4. Jeremiah 32:24 tn Heb “And the city has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who are fighting against it, because of the sword, starvation, and disease.” The verb “has been given” is one of those perfects that view the action as good as done (the perfect of certainty or prophetic perfect).
  5. Jeremiah 32:24 tn The word “Lord” is not in the text but is supplied in the translation as a reminder that it is he who is being addressed.
  6. Jeremiah 32:24 tn Heb “And what you said has happened, and, behold, you see it.”
