Jeremiah 22 General Notes
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 22:6-10, 13-28, 28-30.
Special concepts in this chapter
Luxury and oppression
Because the king lived in luxury and oppressed the poor, God was sending him and his mother into captivity unless he repented. The king lacked justice. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/other/oppress and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/justice)
