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 this chapter.
Special concepts in this chapter
Gentiles
Many scholars believe this chapter prophesies that Gentiles will be able to come to a saving faith in Yahweh. At this time, the Israelites believed that only an Israelite could be saved. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/save and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith)
