Jeremiah 04 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 4:1-9.
The prophecy revealed to Jeremiah is recorded in 3:19-4:3. 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)
Special concepts in this chapter
Yahweh's punishment
This chapter prophecies Yahweh's punishment on Judah. This should bring Judah to repentance, but it does not. It is also intended to make the nations fear the power of Yahweh and make them desire to worship him. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/fear)
