11	sn Heb “I swear by myself.” Oaths were guaranteed by invoking the name of a god or swearing by “his life.” See Jer 12:16; 44:26. Since the Lord is incomparably great, he could swear by no higher (see Heb 6:13–16) than to swear by himself or his own great name.
12	tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

Jeremiah 22:5
