‏ Jeremiah 7:3

3 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, ^{▼▼tn Heb “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel.”} ^{▼▼sn Compare the use of similar titles in 2:19; 5:14; 6:6 and see the explanation in the study note at 2:19. In this instance the title appears to emphasize the Lord as the heavenly King who drags his disobedient vassals into court (and threatens them with judgment).} says: Change the way you have been living and do what is right. ^{▼▼tn Or “Make good your ways and your actions.” J. Bright’s translation (“Reform the whole pattern of your conduct”; Jeremiah [AB], 52) is excellent.} If you do, I will allow you to continue to live in this land. ^{▼▼tn Heb “place.” But this might be misunderstood to refer to the temple.}
