Parallel JER 9:12

---

OEB Where is the man that Jehovah
 ⇔ Himself hath communed with and charged
 ⇔ To declare why the land us a ruin,
 ⇔ Laid waste like the untravelled wilderness?

WEBBE Who is wise enough to understand this? Who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD has spoken, that he may declare it? Why has the land perished and burnt up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?

WMBB (Same as above)

NET I said,
 ⇔ “Who is wise enough to understand why this has happened?
 ⇔ Who has a word from the Lord that can explain it?
 ⇔ Why does the land lie in ruins?
 ⇔ Why is it as scorched as a desert through which no one travels?”

LSV Who [is] the wise man? And he understands this,
And he to whom the mouth of YHWH spoke? And he declares it,
For why has the land perished? It has been burned up as a wilderness,
Without any passing through.

FBV Who is wise enough to understand this? Has the Lord told anyone so they can explain what's happened? Why has the land been destroyed and burned so it's like a desert, so no one can pass through it?

T4T  ¶ I said, “Only people who are very wise [RHQ] can understand these things.
 ⇔ Only those who have been taught by Yahweh can [RHQ] explain these things to others.
 ⇔ The wise people are [RHQ] the only ones who can explain why the land will be completely ruined
 ⇔ with the result that everyone [RHQ] will be afraid to travel through it.”

LEB  • is the wise man that can understand this? And to whom has the mouth of Yahweh spoken, so that he may declare it? •  Why is the land destroyed? •  It is laid waste like the desert[fn] so that no one passes through.”
