54 And in particular sins against the fundamental principle of parallelism, e.g. in iv. 3, where even with the help of part of an obvious title to the Oracle he gets only three lines and supposes the fourth to be lost; and though the sense-parallelism is generally within a couplet he divides it between the last line of his first couplet and the first of his second. Again, if we keep in mind what is said above (p. 35) of the recurrence in Hebrew poems of longer, heavier lines at intervals—especially at the end of a strophe or a poem, we must feel a number of Duhm’s emendations to be not only unnecessary but harmful to the effectiveness of the verse. 55 Pointing את with Patah-Sheva for Tsere. 56 Pointing לםדתי with Chireq-Patah-Sheva-Sheva. 57 Hebrew adds _poor_. 58 So Duhm after the Greek; see p. 97, n. 3. 59 After the Greek. 60 By differently arranging the Hebrew consonants, see p. 117. Other arrangements are possible. Greek omits _destined to ruin_. 61 Hebrew and Greek have this couplet in the reverse order. 62 ii. 14-17. 63 xxxi. 15. 64 While Duhm and Giesebrecht reduce the text to the exact Qînah form, Erbt correctly reads it as varied by lines of four accents. 65 After Duhm who reads לכן = לאכן (cp. viii. 6) and transfers it to the following line. 66 See below, p. 92. 67 So Greek. 68 So Greek; Hebrew adds _their God_. 69 Hebrew adds _and is cut off_. 70 The Hebrew _makôm_ must here as elsewhere be given as equivalent to the Arabic _makâm_ (literally like the Hebrew _standing-place_ but) generally _sacred site_. 71 After Duhm. 72 Hebrew adds _the Lord our God_; not in the Greek. 73 So Greek and Vulg.; Hebrew has _he shall not see_. 74 xiii. 12-14. The above rendering follows the Greek version. 75 A Hebrew idiom, literally _don’t, knowing, we know_? 76 This couplet is wanting in the Greek. 77 So rightly Duhm after the Greek. 78 Hebrew uselessly adds _in the land_. 79 So Duhm, reading _gār_ for _gēr_. 80 Hebrew adds, _and will make visitation on their sins_, which the Greek omits. 81 ix. 17 f., 21 f.; see also pp. 205, 206. 82 xiii. 15-16. 83 So the Greek. 84 iv. 11-13, 15-17. The text and so the metre of 16, 17 are uncertain. For _besiegers_ Duhm proposes by the change of one letter to read _panthers_, to which in v. 6 Jeremiah likens the same foes. Skinner, _leopards_. See below, p. 114. 85 Lit. _Because of the feebleness of their hands_. 86 xv. 5-9. 87 Greek; in both cases Hebrew adds _the Lord_. 88 See previous note. 89 This verse is uncertain; for Hebrew בעתה read with the Greek בהלה. For another arrangement see above, p. 51. 90 So Greek; Hebrew omits _sound_. 91 This line is uncertain. 92 Greek. 93 So Greek; Hebrew omits this line.
