the earth
Jeremiah 4:23
4:23 the earth. The word translated “earth” (Hebrew eretz) is commonly translated “land,” depending upon context. It is translated “land” in Jeremiah 4:5, for example (as well as in Jeremiah 4:7,20,27), obviously referring to the land of Judah. It should be translated “land” in this verse also, in consistency with the whole context of the chapter.
