[5] Some fragments containing parts of this chapter were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, i.e., 2QJer (2Q13; 1st century CE[6]), with extant verses 2‑4, 7, 25‑39, 41‑45.

[7][8] There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (with a different chapter and verse numbering), made in the last few centuries BCE.

[9] The Septuagint version doesn't contain a part which are generally known to be verses 45–46 in Christian Bibles.

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 the Septuagint (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton.

[10] The order of Computer Assisted Tools for Septuagint/Scriptural Study (CATSS) based on Alfred Rahlfs' Septuaginta (1935) differs in some details from Joseph Ziegler's critical edition (1957) in Göttingen LXX.

[12] "Nebo" is identified with modern Khirbet Mekhayyet, 8 km (5.0 mi) southwest of Heshbon.
