Structure

NKJV groups this chapter into:

Verse 1

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) (NKJV)[4]

Verse 11

And this whole land shall be a desolation and an astonishment, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. (NKJV)[5]
  • "These nations": Judah and the surrounding nations, such as Moab and Phoenicia.[6]
  • "Seventy years": may represent "the length of lifetime" (Psalm 90:10).[7]

Verse 12

‘Then it will come to pass, when seventy years are completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity,’ says the Lord; ‘and I will make it a perpetual desolation.’ (NKJV)[8]

Cross reference: Jeremiah 29:10, Daniel 9:2; Zechariah 1:12; Zechariah 7:5

Verse 26

All the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. Also the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. (NKJV)[9]

Verse numbering

The order of chapters and verses of the Book of Jeremiah in the English Bibles, Masoretic Text (Hebrew), and Vulgate (Latin), in some places differs from that in Septuagint (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton. The following table is taken with minor adjustments from Brenton's Septuagint, page 971.[12]

The order of CATSS based on Alfred Rahlfs' Septuaginta (1935), differs in some details from Joseph Ziegler's critical edition (1957) in Göttingen LXX. Swete's Introduction mostly agrees with Rahlfs edition (=CATSS).[12]
