Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will nevera remember any more.

JND Translation Notes

Or "in no wise." A double negative, augmenting its force.

because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sinsa and their lawlessnessesb I will never remember more.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
A few of the most ancient MSS. and versions support this as the true text, many later copies adding "and their lawlessnesses" as in T. R.
b
Two great New Testament MSS. and almost all the ancient versions omit the words "and their lawlessnesses." It will be noticed that the words do not appear in {vi 19726}{/vi}. They are not in the Septuagint any more than the original Hebrew, which indeed has also the singular form, where the Greek gives the plural. It would seem that the words in question were inserted from chap. 10:17, where beyond doubt they occur, but without "their unrighteousnesses."
