Structure

NKJV groups this chapter into:

Verse 1

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came from the Lord, saying (NKJV)[9]
  • "In the beginning of the reign": technically refers to "the part of the year between the day the king ascended to the throne and the beginning of his first full year" which usually began in the spring month of Nisan (March–April).[10] Jehoiakim reigned in 609-598 BC.[11]

Verse 18

“Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying,
‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:
“Zion shall be plowed like a field,
Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins,
And the mountain of the temple
Like the bare hills of the forest.”’ (NKJV)[12]

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.[15]

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).[15]
