[116] xxvi. 20.
[117] So LXX. and modern editors: see Giesebrecht, in loco. R.V. "What burden!"
[118] vii. 14; but cf. R.V.; "I was," etc.
[119] Zech. xiii. 2-5. Post-exilic, according to most critics (Driver's Introduction, in loco).
[120] Froude, ii. 474.
[121] The close connection between xxvii. and xxviii. shows that the date in xxviii. 1, "the fourth year of Zedekiah," covers both chapters. "Jehoiakim" in xxvii. 1 is a misreading for "Zedekiah": see R.V. margin.
[122] 1 Kings xxii. 11.
[123] The rest of this verse has apparently been inserted from xxvii. 6 by a scribe. It is omitted by the LXX.
[124] xxii. 15-25.
[125] Doubts have been expressed as to whether this verse originally formed part of Jeremiah's letter, or was ever written by him; but in view of his numerous references to a coming restoration those doubts are unnecessary.
