General Information:
The prophecy revealed to Jeremiah is recorded in 2:1-3:5. Despite covering more than one chapter, this should be seen as one unit. The same is true for 3:19-4:3. If Judah repents, God will bring the people back from the captivity into which he is going to send them. The ULB sets poetry (3:1-5, 12-17, 19-25) farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry.
