Jeremiah 25 Footnotes

25:13 The Septuagint (Gk translation of the OT) inserts chaps. 46–51 here. Because many surviving Greek OT manuscripts are as old as, or older than, those of the Hebrew text, it is uncertain which order of the chapters is original and which textual tradition has become corrupted. This question should cast no doubt on the reliability of the text since it does not affect important issues. While the differing context of those chapters may put a slightly different nuance on their meaning, the core message and theology of Jeremiah are clear: the nation of Judah went into exile because of its sinfulness, and God is sovereign over all nations.
