Jeremiah 08 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 8:5-22.

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)

Important figures of speech in this chapter

Hyperbole

The author frequently uses hyperbole in this chapter to describe the complete destruction of Jerusalem. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)
