# General Information:
|
|
|
|
The words "you" and "your" in these verses refer to the people of Judah. "They" refers to the ancestors of the people of Judah.
|
|
|
|
# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh continues giving Jeremiah his message to the people of Judah.
|
|
|
|
# they did not listen or pay attention
|
|
|
|
These phrases mean about the same thing and are repeated for emphasis. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
|
|
|
|
# by their own stubborn plans of their wicked hearts
|
|
|
|
"according to their own plans because they were wicked and stubborn"
|
|
|
|
# they went backwards, not forward
|
|
|
|
This is a metaphor. Possible meanings are 1) they refused to pay attention to Yahweh, instead of eagerly obeying him. Alternate translation: "they went away from me instead of drawing closer to me" or 2) they got worse and worse instead of improving. Alternate translation: "they got worse instead of better" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
