Jeremiah 32:43
43You and your people ▼ are saying that this land will become desolate, uninhabited by either people or animals. You are saying that it will be handed over to the Babylonians. ▼ But fields ▼▼tn The noun is singular with the article, but it is a case of the generic singular (cf. GKC 406 §126.m).
will again be bought in this land. ▼▼tn Heb “Fields will be bought in this land of which you [masc. pl.] are saying, ‘It will be desolate [a perfect of certainty or prophetic perfect], without man or beast; it will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’” The original sentence has been broken down to better conform to contemporary English style.
