In the Septuagint, Jeremiah is about an eighth shorter than the Hebrew and arranges its material differently — the Oracles Against the Nations (Hebrew chapters 46–51) appear in the middle of the Greek book, after 25:13. Because the chapter and verse boundaries do not line up, a verse-for-verse comparison with the Hebrew is not shown.
A verse-for-verse comparison isn’t shown here because the chapters and verses don’t line up. Switch to the LXX edition with the MT / LXX toggle above to read the Greek directly.

The Targum is the ancient Jewish Aramaic paraphrase of the Hebrew Scriptures — an interpretive translation, not the Hebrew text itself. Onkelos (literal) and Pseudo-Jonathan (expansive) render the Torah, and Jonathan the Prophets. Coverage is partial: where no permissively-licensed English translation exists for a verse, only the Aramaic is shown. This is verse-level text, not a word-by-word alignment to the Hebrew.
בְכֵן יִתְרְמִין עוּלֵימָהָא בִּרְחוֹבָהָא וְכָל אֱנָשֵׁי עָבְדֵי קְרָבָא יִתַּבְּרוּן בְּעִדָנָא הַהִיא אֲמַר יְיָ:

Jeremiah, in the Prophets, opens this verse with 12 words (12 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is dâmam (“to be silent”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.
Commentary
Notes on Jeremiah 50:30 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.
