Jeremiah 22 General Notes

Structure and formatting

Some translations prefer to set apart quotations. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 22:6-10, 13-28, 28-30, which are extended quotations.

Special concepts in this chapter

Luxury and oppression

Because the king lived in luxury and oppressed the poor, God was sending him and his mother into captivity unless he repented. The king lacked justice. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/oppress, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice)
