1 | Whose quotation marks or capitalization | Jer 3:19 | Ray | 23061 | ||
How do you interpret Jeremiah 3:19? Do you prefer the NASB or do you prefer the NKJ with its quotation marks around "My Father"? Who do you think is speaking here? | ||||||
2 | Whose quotation marks or capitalization | Jer 3:19 | Searcher56 | 23072 | ||
Scripture ... Jer 3:19 ... context vv 11ff ... Ray, Greetings. I am studying Jeremiah. I believe it is the Lord talking starting in verse 11. It is a message for Jeremiah to give to the north (vs 12). It is his desire that they call Him 'my Father' (vs 4). Isarel is His firstborn son (Exo 4:22). I do not think it is Jeremiah's desire to be called 'father' ... which would be the other choice. Quoation marks can be misleading. I don't think they have them in the Hebrew or Greek. Searcher |

3 | Whose quotation marks or capitalization | Jer 3:19 | kalos | 23126 | ||
Searcher, you are correct -- "quotation marks can be misleading." And that is why some translators preferred not to use quotation marks -- because it is not always clear from the text who is speaking what words or where the quotation begins and ends. Sharp observation, my friend. kalos |
