Translation & textual notes

The Greek text of Jeremiah 21 follows the standard critical text of the Septuagint as established in the Rahlfs-Hanhart edition (Septuaginta, rev. ed. 2006), an ancient and public-domain text; the critical apparatus is not reproduced. Opens in siege conditions as Zedekiah sends priests to ask whether the Lord may once more act wondrously against Babylon. Jeremiah's answer reverses that hope: the Lord will turn Judah's own weapons back into the city, strike inhabitants and livestock, and hand king and people alike into Babylonian power without pity. Yet the oracle is not simply fatalistic. A second movement places before the people the way of life and the way of death, making surrender to the Chaldeans the only path to survival. The closing address turns to the royal house, insisting that Davidic rule still bears covenant obligation to judge rightly and rescue the oppressed; if that duty is despised, the palace-security of Jerusalem's valley will not save it from divine fire. Greek versification is followed here.
