Richard Bacon:

This is the second time within a couple of weeks I put some older notes 
online without carefully rechecking them. What was I thinking? Yes, you are 
right.

However, in Jeremiah 10:8 and Proverbs 28:18, is “one” being used where we in 
English would use “one moment”? That seems to fit the context.
