Jeremiah 10:17
Gather up your belongings from this land, you who live under siege.
BSB
ASV
Gather up thy wares out of the land, O thou that abidest in the siege.
KJV
Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
Gather up thy wares out of the land,.... Or thy merchandise, as the Targum; or thy substance, as the Septuagint; all valuable effects and goods that are movable, which might be carried from place to place. The meaning is, that the Jews would gather up their riches from the several parts of the land of Judea, and bring them to Jerusalem, a fortified place; or they would be in danger of falling into the hands of the enemy.
The prophet now returns to the main subject of his sermon, the conquest of Judaea. Thy wares - Rather, thy bundle, which could contain a few articles for necessary use, and be carried in the hand. They are going into exile. O inhabitant of the fortress - i. e., thou that art besieged, that inhabitest a besieged town.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
