Jeremiah 47 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations set each line of poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to make it easier to read. 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)
