Structure and formatting
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in 47:2-7.
Jeremiah's prophesies about other nations continue in this chapter. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet)
Important figures of speech in this chapter
