Jeremiah 17:6
_ _ heath — In Psalms 102:17; Isaiah 32:11; Habakkuk 3:9, the Hebrew is translated, “bare,” “naked,” “destitute”; but as the parallel in Jeremiah 17:8 is “tree,” some plant must be meant of which this is the characteristic epithet (Jeremiah 48:6, Margin), “a naked tree.” Robinson translates, “the juniper tree,” found in the Arabah or Great Valley, here called “the desert,” south of the Dead Sea. The “heath” was one of the plants, according to Pliny (13.21; 16.26), excluded from religious uses, because it has neither fruit nor seed, and is neither sown nor planted.
_ _ not see ... good — (Job 20:17).
_ _ salt land — (Deuteronomy 29:23), barren ground. |

Jeremiah 48:6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

Job 15:30-34 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away. ... For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
Psalms 1:4 The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Psalms 92:7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; [it is] that they shall be destroyed for ever:

2 Kings 7:2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, [if] the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see [it] with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
2 Kings 7:19-20 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, [if] the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?
