Jer 31,26 speaks of the prophet’s sweet slumber seemingly without a substantial connection with the preceding prophecy (V 23–25 or even prophecies 30,5–31,25), but the verse is to be understood against its ancient background. In ancient Near Eastern and Greek cultures, the relation between dreams and the emotions that confirm them was taken for a serious fact. Thus, from the comparative point of view, the verse does not appear to align poorly with the prophecy in V 23–25 anymore, but fits in with other ancient documents as a legitimate means to confirm the dream message. Especially in comparison with the usual pessimistic Eastern notion of emotions accompanying dreams, Jer 31,26 stands out as an unusually hopeful version of their relation.

耶尔31,26谈到先知的甜美沉睡似乎与先前的预言（V 23–25甚至预言30,5–31,25）没有实质性的联系，但是这节经文应以其古老的背景来理解。在古代近东和希腊文化中，梦与证实梦的情感之间的关系被认为是一个严肃的事实。因此，从比较的角度来看，这节经文似乎不再与V 23-25中的预言相去甚远，而是与其他古代文献相吻合，作为确认梦境信息的合法手段。尤其是与通常伴随着梦想的悲观东方情感相比较时，耶尔31,26表现出与他们之间关系的非同寻常的希望。
