# Regarding the prophets, my heart is broken in me, and all of my bones tremble
|
|

The prophet speaks of his heart being broken and his bones trembling because he is afraid of the judgment that will result from the lies of the false prophets. Alternate translation: "I have great fear for what will happen because of the false prophets" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# all of my bones tremble

# I have become like a drunk man, like a man whom wine has overpowered
|

People who are drunk are not able to control themselves. Likewise, Jeremiah has lost control of himself out of fear of Yahweh's punishment. Alternate translation: "I am like a drunk man; I cannot control myself" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
