As I mentioned in a previous E-mail, I see an inclusio from verses 21
to 26 "faithful city" which suggests a self-contained section 21-26.
That and the shift of person would be enough to suggest a change at
v.27. I am not sure that NIV takes 27-28 as a parenthesis, but if it
does I would suggest that this is incorrect - I don't see coherence
(as NIV has translated) between 21-26 and 29-31. More probably 21-26,
27-28 and 29-31 were originally three separate utterances.
