From email from Gary Shogren, theological checker for SUN translation.

Jer 50:21 - there seems to be an extraneous opening quotation mark at the beginning of the verse.

The problem might be through out the whole book. Jer 51 even has a quote mark right at the beginning.

\v 1 "Yahweh says this:
\q See, I am about to stir up a wind of destruction
\q2 against Babylon and against those
\q2 who live in Leb Kamai.

It looks like there are problems with the quote marks all through Jer 50. I think it has to do with confusion about whether or not new stanzas within a quote should have starting quote marks as is done in other versions. The problem might be through out the whole book.
