602 Pp. 258-9 n., thus exceeding Steuernagel's and Buttenwieser's
readings of parts of it as a variant of xxxvii.

604 Duhm and Cornill take as original only 6-15; Giesebrecht reasonably
adds 16, _Ah Lord Yahweh_ in 17, 24, 25, and in the main 26-44, from
which probably more deductions should be made than he makes. Gillies
(270 ff.) takes 16-25 as later reflections on a prayer by Jeremiah,
24-41 as editorial, 42-44 as bringing us back to the actual
situation. This is safer than Peake's distinction of 16, 24-26,
36-44 as genuine (slightly qualified by his notes). Hebrew and Greek
throughout are the same, save for the usual Greek omissions, and
these are more in the narrative 1-15 (especially 5_b_, 11_b_, 14
_these deeds_ with _it_ for _them_ and _they_, while in 8 for Hebrew
_the redemption is thine_ it has _thou art the elder_) than in the
prayer and the divine answer (30_b_, 36 _captivity_ for
_pestilence_, 41 _visit_ for _rejoice over_). In 6 for Hebrew _me_
Greek has _Jeremiah_, but confirms the 1st person in 8, 9-13, 16,
25, and in 26 has _me_ for Hebrew _Jeremiah_. Greek, too, has some
of its unusual surplus: 8 _Shallum_, 12 _son of_, 19 {~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH DASIA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON WITH DASIA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER MU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH OXIA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER GAMMA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA~}
