# Jeremiah 31 General Notes #
|
|
|
|
#### Structure and formatting ####
|
|
|
|
Some translations indent each line of poetry to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetry in 31:1-6, 8-22, 35-37.
|
|
|
|
The ULB indents 31:29 because it is an important quotation.
|
|
|
|
This chapter begins with a transition from the previous chapter. "At that time" is a reference to the day of restoration mentioned in [Jeremiah 30:24](../30/23.md). (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/restore]])
