- "The message is very constant in Jeremiah: if the people repent then God will turn back to them and continue to care for them. However, we know by later narrative in the Book of Jeremiah that the people have failed to heed the message of Jeremiah and the Babylonians descend and take Jerusalem and the people captive."

- "The phrase "like a shrub" in the translation above renders the noun 'ar'ar with prepositional prefix. (The prefixed kaph, of course, indicates likeness of some kind.) The noun, understood in this way, is a hapax legomenon, although a closely related noun occurs in Jeremiah 48:6."

"Roots and Branches" by
Prof. Eliezer Segal, University of Calgary.
- "I think that this is an area in which our different traditions can find a common cause. It is a sacred duty of the religious communities to equip our people to distinguish between the authentic divine imperative and the many brands of attractively packaged sound-bytes and buzz words that pass for revelation in our shallow times."
