t_.

_ 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
