Jeremiah 16:9-21

Du. rejects all these vv. Co. omits 9 13, suspects the genuineness of 14, 15 both here and in Jeremiah 23:7 f., and rejects 16, as well as portions of 17 21. Gi. retains of the whole series only Jeremiah 16:19, while admitting (Metrik) that 20, 21 maybe genuine. Schmidt denies the genuineness of 14 21. There is thus a considerable consensus of authorities against the passage, but their arguments do not appear conclusive except as to 14, 15. See further in individual notes. According to Gi. (Metrik) metre is doubtful or non-existent, except in 7, 8, 19 21.
