Footnote

b Jeremiah 50:45, as rendered in The Bible—A New Translation, by Dr. James Moffatt, reads as follows: “Hear, then, the Eternal’s plan against Babylon, his purpose for the Chaldeans: their shepherd lads shall be dragged away, and the farm appalled at their fate!” Compare with this the reading by the RSV, also George Lamsa’s translation from the Aramaic Peshitta.
