(Occurrence 0) Yahweh of hosts … says this

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers god_of Yisrael to=say you(pl) and,wives_of,your(pl) and,you(pl)_have_spoken with,mouth_of,your(pl) and,with,hands_of,your(pl) fulfilled to=say to_carry_out keep DOM vows_of,our which/who made to,make_smoke to,the_queen_of the=heavens and,to,pour_out to/for=her/it drink_offerings to_do confirm DOM vows_of,your(pl) and,indeed_(perform) perform DOM vows_of,your(pl) )

Jeremiah often uses these words to introduce an important message from Yahweh. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 6:6](../06/06.md).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

(Occurrence 0) have said with your mouths and carried out with your hands what you said

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers god_of Yisrael to=say you(pl) and,wives_of,your(pl) and,you(pl)_have_spoken with,mouth_of,your(pl) and,with,hands_of,your(pl) fulfilled to=say to_carry_out keep DOM vows_of,our which/who made to,make_smoke to,the_queen_of the=heavens and,to,pour_out to/for=her/it drink_offerings to_do confirm DOM vows_of,your(pl) and,indeed_(perform) perform DOM vows_of,your(pl) )

Here “mouths” and “hands” represent the whole person. Alternate translation: “have done what you promised to do when you said”

(Occurrence 0) carry out the vows

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers god_of Yisrael to=say you(pl) and,wives_of,your(pl) and,you(pl)_have_spoken with,mouth_of,your(pl) and,with,hands_of,your(pl) fulfilled to=say to_carry_out keep DOM vows_of,our which/who made to,make_smoke to,the_queen_of the=heavens and,to,pour_out to/for=her/it drink_offerings to_do confirm DOM vows_of,your(pl) and,indeed_(perform) perform DOM vows_of,your(pl) )

Alternate translation: “fulfill the vows” or “complete the vows”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

(Occurrence 0) Now fulfill your vows; carry them out

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers god_of Yisrael to=say you(pl) and,wives_of,your(pl) and,you(pl)_have_spoken with,mouth_of,your(pl) and,with,hands_of,your(pl) fulfilled to=say to_carry_out keep DOM vows_of,our which/who made to,make_smoke to,the_queen_of the=heavens and,to,pour_out to/for=her/it drink_offerings to_do confirm DOM vows_of,your(pl) and,indeed_(perform) perform DOM vows_of,your(pl) )

This is an ironic statement. Yahweh does not really want them to fulfill their vow to a false goddess. Yahweh knows they will not listen to him so he tells them to go ahead and do what they want. Alternate translation: “Very well! If that is what you want to do, then go fulfill your vows and do what you promised to do”

(Occurrence 0) Now

(Some words not found in UHB: thus he/it_had_said YHWH armies/messengers god_of Yisrael to=say you(pl) and,wives_of,your(pl) and,you(pl)_have_spoken with,mouth_of,your(pl) and,with,hands_of,your(pl) fulfilled to=say to_carry_out keep DOM vows_of,our which/who made to,make_smoke to,the_queen_of the=heavens and,to,pour_out to/for=her/it drink_offerings to_do confirm DOM vows_of,your(pl) and,indeed_(perform) perform DOM vows_of,your(pl) )

The word “now” does not mean “at this moment,” but is used to draw attention to the important point that follows.
