My analysis of Jer 29 argues for including v. 15 in the unit describing God’s ‘good plans’, which is delimitated almost always as vv. 10-14. A review of translations and commentators reveals v. 15 to be a crux interpretum, which often is ‘solved’ through textual transposition. Discussing the omission of vv. 16-20 in Jer-LXX as well as some standard indicators of delimitation, such as speech formulas, conjunctions, and scribal paragraph markers, I argue for reading v. 15 as the exiles’ direct response to the preceding divine promises. This understanding of the structure of Jer 29 shifts the main message of the prophet’s letter from God’s ‘good plans’ to the addressee’s rejection of these plans. For a post-exilic readership, the letter explains the suspension of divine restoration and elevates the New Covenant promises of Jer 30-31.

上帝的“好计划”还不够好吗?耶利米流放信中耶29.15的位置和意义
我对Jer 29的分析主张在描述上帝的“好计划”的单元中加入第15条,几乎总是以vv划界。10-14岁。对翻译和评论员的评论显示,第15节是一个关键的解释,通常是通过文本换位来“解决”的。讨论vv的遗漏。我认为Jer-LXX中的16-20以及一些标准的划界指标,例如语音公式,连词和抄写段落标记,我认为阅读第15条是对流亡者对先前神圣承诺的直接反应。对Jer 29结构的这种理解将先知信的主要信息从上帝的好计划转变为收件人的拒绝这些计划中。对于放逐后的读者来说,这封信解释了神圣恢复的中止,并提高了《新约》对约30-31的承诺。
