OET interlinear JER 50:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) In those days and at that time

(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=days the=those and,at,time (the),that declares_of YHWH sought DOM iniquity_of Yisrael and=not_existing=he and=DOM sins_of Yehuda and=not found that/for/because/then/when forgive (to)_[those],whom leave )

These two phrases mean the same thing and emphasize that future time. See how you translated this in as [Jeremiah 33:15](../33/15.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) iniquity will be looked for in Israel, but none will be found. I will inquire about the sins of Judah, but none will be found

(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=days the=those and,at,time (the),that declares_of YHWH sought DOM iniquity_of Yisrael and=not_existing=he and=DOM sins_of Yehuda and=not found that/for/because/then/when forgive (to)_[those],whom leave )

These two lines mean basically the same thing. Together they emphasize that Yahweh will completely forgive the sins of the people of Israel.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) iniquity will be looked for in Israel, but none will be found

(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=days the=those and,at,time (the),that declares_of YHWH sought DOM iniquity_of Yisrael and=not_existing=he and=DOM sins_of Yehuda and=not found that/for/because/then/when forgive (to)_[those],whom leave )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Yahweh will look for iniquity in the people of Israel, but will not find any”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) that I spare

(Some words not found in UHB: in_the=days the=those and,at,time (the),that declares_of YHWH sought DOM iniquity_of Yisrael and=not_existing=he and=DOM sins_of Yehuda and=not found that/for/because/then/when forgive (to)_[those],whom leave )

They will escape the destruction of Babylon. This can be stated explicitly. Alternate translation: “that I allow to escape the destruction of Babylon”
