Note 55 — SENTENCES.
Reading edition
“Did he not fear the Lord, and besought the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the evil, which he had pronounced against them?” Jer. xxvi. 19. Here the Interrogative and Explicative forms are confounded. It ought to be, “Did he not fear the Lord, and beseech the Lord? and did not the Lord repent him of the evil,⸺?” See likewise Matt. xviii. 12.
