The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah: A Revised Translation with Introductions and Short Explanations (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah: A Revised Translation With Introductions and Short Explanations

The aim of the present volume is to assist an ordinary educated reader to read the Book of Jeremiah intelligently, and to understand the gist and scope Of its different parts. For this purpose I have given a revised translation Of the Book, in the general style of the Authorized Version, as clear and exact as English idiom would permit; the text has been divided into paragraphs, with headings prefixed to each, summarizing the argu ment or narrative which follows; and a minimum of short notes has been added sometimes illustrating from other passages the terms used, more frequently explaining briefly historical or other allusions, difficult passages (so far as this was possible), technical expressions, and other things not likely to be familiar to any but special students. It is from being unacquainted with things such as these, that the writings of the prophets are, it is to be feared, found by many readers to be frequently.
