523 Hebrew adds _of the prophet_.
_ 524 Recognised_ or _acknowledged_.
525 Greek adds _In the sight of all the people_; also gives the plural
_bars_.
526 Greek lacks these words.
527 So Greek; Hebrew _thou shalt_.
528 Hebrew adds _Hear now Hananiah_.
529 Hebrew adds _that year_.
530 By Giesebrecht.
531 Hebrew adds _Before the Lord, yea before His holy words_ (Greek
_before His glorious majesty_). Both break the connection and are
unmetrical.
532 The couplet here given by Hebrew and Greek is too long for the
verse, breaks the connection, and is apparently a copyist’s
dittography expanded by quotation from ix. 2 (Duhm). But a single
line is needed. Helped by Greek, we might read _and because of these
mourns_.
533 After Duhm.
534 So Syriac, alone yielding a sound division of the lines.
535 Hebrew and Greek add a line breaking metre and parallel.
536 Jerusalem’s (?).
537 Greek adds _of Hosts concerning the prophets_.
538 Cornill rejects this couplet, I think needlessly.
539 So Greek, cp. ii. 5, p. 92.
540 Or _My_, Erbt and Cornill.
541 So Greek. Hebrew _feared and heard His word_. These clauses are not
metrical and may be a later intrusion; which 19, 20 certainly are,
for they find their proper place in xxx. 23, 24.
542 So Greek.
543 Hebrew expands, _from their evil way and_.
544 So Greek affirmatively. Hebrew, by putting the couplet as a
question, confuses the meaning. To _near_ it adds _Rede of the
Lord_.
545 So Duhm happily takes a third repetition (for other cases of this
kind, see vii. 4; xxii. 29) instead of the senseless _how long_ at
the beginning of the next verse.
546 Giesebrecht’s happy emendation.
547 So Greek.
548 Greek _Law_.
549 So Greek.
550 Greek adds _so My words_.
551 Hebrew adds _thus_.
552 So lit. or _call it a Rede_; _fling out_ so two Greek versions,
Hebrew _take_.
553 Zeph. iii. 4.
554 In 31 and 32 Hebrew repeats _Rede of the Lord_. The section which
follows can hardly be Jeremiah’s.
555 xxii. 19; II. Kings xxiv. 6; just as conversely Huldah’s prophecy
that Josiah would _be gathered to his fathers in peace_, II. Kings
xxii. 20, was belied at Megiddo.
556 xxiii. 32, repeating what he has frequently said already.
557 As Amos had more strongly put it, _You only have I known of all the
families of the earth, therefore I will visit upon you all your
iniquities_, iii. 2.
