The Book of Jeremiah, Chapter 26ΙΕΡΕΜΙΑΣ ΚϚ′

Each verse opens with the running Greek, an English translation, and a discourse note (its connective, relation, and role in the argument). Below follows the word-by-word breakdown in six tiers: gloss, case (color), parsing, syntax, semantic force, and a lexical note.

Discourse notes head each verse: relation · connective · clause-flow. Indentation marks prominence — flush-left = main line of argument; indented = supporting / subordinate material.

Theme

Egypt's swagger breaks at Euphrates, yet Jacob is not utterly destroyed.

Translation & textual notes

The Greek text of Jeremiah 26 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. In the Septuagint's ordering this chapter contains the oracle against Egypt. It first names Pharaoh Neco's force at the Euphrates and mockingly summons the Egyptians and their allies to arm themselves, only to depict panic, collapse, and the Lord's sacrificial day of vengeance in the north. The middle of the chapter shifts from battle taunt to invasion report as Egypt's cities, mercenaries, cultic symbols, and forest-like multitude are all cut down before the advance from the north. The close then turns, as elsewhere in Jeremiah, to a reassurance addressed to Jacob/Israel: exile will not end in extinction, because the Lord remains present to save and discipline his servant in measured judgment. Greek versification is followed here.

Oracle headingasyndeton
Begins by naming Egypt, Carchemish, and Jehoiakim's fourth year so the coming taunt is anchored to a concrete military disaster.
