Footnotes
- 58 It is not always clear why verses were placed in their present position in the editorial process of collecting Jeremiah’s sermons and the words the Lord spoke to him (see Jer 36:4, 32 for reference to two of these collections). Here it is probable that vv. 23–26 were added as a further answer to the question raised in v. 12.
- 59 Or “Strong people should not brag that they are strong.”
- 60 Heb “… in their wisdom … in their power … in their riches.”
