Jeremiah 6:21

21 So, this is what the Lord says:
‘I will assuredly ^{▼▼ This is an attempt to render the Hebrew particle rendered “behold” joined to the first person pronoun.} make these people stumble to their doom. ^{▼▼ Heb “I will put stumbling blocks in front of these people.” In this context the stumbling blocks are the invading armies.}
Parents and children will stumble and fall to their destruction. ^{▼▼ The words “and fall to their destruction” are implicit in the metaphor and are supplied in the translation for clarity.}
Friends and neighbors will die.’
