Jeremiah 08 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations prefer to set apart quotations. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 8:5-22, which are extended quotations.
The prophecy revealed to Jeremiah is recorded in 8:5-9:12. Despite covering more than one chapter, this should be seen as one unit. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/reveal)
