- Jeremiah 26:1 This second section of the Book is made up of discourses and oracles from different periods that are inserted into biographical narratives from the pen of Baruch, Jeremiah’s secretary. Out of present trials, a new destiny for the nation will slowly emerge.
- Jeremiah 26:1 This account gives a concrete example of Jeremiah’s preaching, as he attacks the false security that relies on the temple and the holy city as if these were God’s inviolable dwelling place despite all the sins of Israel. The prophet’s sacrilegious words are scandalous! People want to lynch him.
