Jeremiah 32:25

In this verse again the particle is ill translated and, and for in the latter clause. The learned author of the English Annotations judgeth well, that it had been better translated whenas in the second place, as Genesis 4:11 Psalms 102:5, or albeit, or though, as it is translated, Joshua 17:18 Psalms 23:4; and yet instead of and in the beginning, as it is Jeremiah 23:21. Lord, saith the prophet, expound thy meaning to me, why, when the city is upon the matter ready to be yielded up to the Chaldeans, and cannot possibly hold out long, thou shouldest set me to make purchases for thine enemies to possess.
