Parallels

  • Psalm 22:14 (verbal): Offers near-verbal parallels—'all my bones are out of joint' and 'my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast' echo Jeremiah's broken heart and trembling bones.
  • Habakkuk 3:16 (verbal): Describes bodily trembling and inner dismay before God—'I hear, and my body trembles... rottenness enters into my bones' parallels Jeremiah's shaken bones and overwhelmed state.
  • Jeremiah 4:19 (thematic): A closely related Jeremiah lament (’my anguish, my anguish; my heart is pounding… I cannot be silent’)—same prophetic mood of brokenness and inability to remain calm before God’s message.
  • Ezekiel 3:14–15 (structural): Ezekiel’s stunned, immobilized reaction to the prophetic call (spirit lifting him away; he sits astonished among the exiles) parallels Jeremiah’s overwhelmed, dazed comparison to a drunken man in response to the LORD’s word.
  • Isaiah 28:7 (verbal): Uses the image of reeling/drunkenness for those overcome by wine; Isaiah’s 'they reel from wine' imagery resonates with Jeremiah’s simile of being like a man overcome by wine because of the LORD’s holy words.

Parallels

  • Isaiah 24:5-6 (thematic): The earth is defiled by the people's transgressions and therefore mourns/undergoes judgment — parallels Jeremiah's link between social/sexual unfaithfulness and the land's desolation.
  • Hosea 4:1-3 (verbal): Accuses Israel of lack of faithfulness, swearing and bloodshed so that the land 'mourns' and beasts suffer — echoes the 'adulterers' motif and the land's lament in Jeremiah.
  • Jeremiah 12:4 (verbal): Rhetorical complaint about how long the land will mourn and fields wither — a close verbal and thematic parallel within Jeremiah on the land's suffering.
  • Deuteronomy 28:20-24 (structural): Covenantal curses for disobedience include drought, withered fields and a cursed land — provides the covenantal cause–effect background for Jeremiah's claim that sin (adultery/idolatry) brings land devastation.
  • Ezekiel 36:34-35 (thematic): Speaks of desolate/wilderness land and fertility/restoration; engages the same desert/wilderness imagery but from a promised-restoration perspective, contrasting Jeremiah's depiction of current desolation.

Parallels

  • Jeremiah 5:31 (verbal): Directly parallels the complaint that prophets and priests are corrupt — 'the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means' — echoing Jeremiah's charge of profanation in God's house.
  • Ezekiel 22:26 (verbal): Ezekiel charges both priests and prophets with profaning holy things and failing their duties, a close verbal and thematic match to Jeremiah's condemnation of priestly and prophetic corruption.
  • Micah 3:11 (thematic): Complains that priests and prophets are corrupt for gain ('priests teach for hire, and prophets divine for money'), thematically mirroring Jeremiah's critique of religious leaders' wickedness.
  • Hosea 4:6 (thematic): Links priestly failure (lack of knowledge) to judgment — God rejects or punishes religious leaders — paralleling Jeremiah's accusation that priestly/prohetic sin brings divine condemnation.
  • Jeremiah 23:14 (structural): Within the same chapter, expands the indictment: prophets of Jerusalem commit deceit and bolster evildoers, a direct continuation and specification of the charge in 23:11.

  • Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, declares the LORD, and who tell them and lead my people astray with their lies and their carelessness; and I did not send them, nor did I command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all, declares the LORD.
  • Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, declares the LORD, and who tell them and lead my people astray with their lies and recklessness— I did not send them or command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all, declares the LORD.

Concerning the prophets: my heart is broken within me; all my bones tremble. I am like a drunkard, like a man overcome by wine—because of the LORD and because of his holy words.

For the land is full of adulterers; because of them the land mourns. The pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up; their conduct is evil and their strength is not right.

For both prophet and priest have acted unfaithfully; even in my house I have found their wickedness, declares the LORD.

Therefore their way shall be to them like slippery paths in the dark; they shall be thrust down and fall in them— for I will bring calamity upon them in the year of my reckoning, declares the LORD. And in the prophets of Samaria I have seen an abominable thing: they prophesied by Baal and led my people Israel astray. And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a terrifying thing: adultery and walking in falsehood. They strengthen the hands of evildoers so that none turns from his wickedness; all of them are like Sodom to me, and her inhabitants like Gomorrah.

Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: Behold, I will feed them wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink; for from the prophets of Jerusalem wickedness has gone out into all the land. Thus says the LORD of hosts: Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you; they utter vanities—visions of their own hearts—they speak not from the mouth of the LORD.

They keep saying to those who despise the word of the LORD, “Peace shall be yours”; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, “No evil shall come upon you.”

Who has stood in the council of the LORD so as to perceive and hear his word? Who marked his word and heard it?

Behold, the storm of the LORD—his wrath—has gone forth; a sweeping tempest will burst upon the head of the wicked.

The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has done it, until he has carried out the purposes of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it clearly.

I did not send the prophets, yet they ran; I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.

If they had stood in my council and had listened to my words, then they would have turned my people from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds.

Am I a God near at hand, declares the LORD, and not a God far off?

Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.

I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name, saying, “I dreamed, I dreamed!”

How long shall the prophets have in their hearts visions of falsehood, and the diviners of lies persist in their deception?

Who think to make my people forget my name by their dreams, which they tell one another, even as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.

The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; the one who has my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What has straw to do with grain? declares the LORD.

Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who steal my words from each other.

Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who take my words into their mouths and say, ‘Declares the LORD.’

Behold, I am against the dream prophets, declares the LORD, who tell their dreams and lead my people astray with their lies and recklessness; and I did not send them, nor did I command them. They shall not profit this people at all, declares the LORD.
