NET Notes

¹sn 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.

²tn Or “Strong people should not brag that they are strong.”

³tn Heb “…in their wisdom…in their power…in their riches.”
