ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to investigate that Jeremiah 25-44 can be tied up with a paragraph through the message of disobedience, and the message of this disobedience is developed through three stages. For this, Jeremiah 25:1-11 and Jeremiah 26-44 were used as the text of the study, and the texts were divided into three paragraphs, and the contents, structure, expressions and language of each paragraph were investigated. First, Jeremiah 25:1-8 depicts the disobedience of the people, similar to Jeremiah 26-33. However, this disobedience is replenished in Jeremiah 26-29 through false prophet motif, and in Jeremiah 30-33, the restoration emphasized in the debate of false prophets is mentioned in detail. In this regard, the theme of disobedience is developed in three stages. Second, Jeremiah 25:9-10 mentions the judgment from disobedience, similar to Jeremiah 34-39. However, the judgment due to this disobedience is supplemented with the judgment motif in Jeremiah 34-38, and Jeremiah 39 mentions that a warning of this judgment has been fulfilled. Third, Jeremiah 25:11 mentions disobedience through service, similar to Jeremiah 40-44. However, the disobedience through the service is supplemented through the service motif in Jeremiah 40:1-43:7, and Jeremiah 43:8-44:30 deals with the judgment of those who ran to Egypt after breaking the order of service. In this sense, Jeremiah 25:1-11 and Jeremiah 26-44 are developing disobedience in three stages. However, in that this paragraph deals with the fall and subsequent periods of Jerusalem, the message of disobedience plays a role in highlighting the legitimacy of YHWH's judgment, and the message about the judgment caused by disobedience is to highlight the sovereignty of YHWH. The analysis that Jeremiah 25-44 is tied through the theme of disobedience provides an idea that can weave this paragraph into a single paragraph. And this analysis reveals that Jeremiah 30-33 is not an indispensable text for the subject of disobedience, not the text that interferes with the flow of Jeremiah 25-44.
