Jeremiah 17:1. See introd. summary to section.

The vv. are omitted in LXX, either (as St Jerome suggests) from unwillingness that the lasting condemnation here expressed should be put on permanent record against them, or because a translator's eye accidentally wandered from the last word of Jeremiah 16:21 to the same ("the Lord") in Jeremiah 17:5; Jeremiah 17:3 f. are repeated from Jeremiah 15:13 f., where the LXX rendering exists. The passage is doubtless genuine, though the text is difficult and probably not free from corruption.
