Summary
The poetic material in Jeremiah 2–20 is usually thought to comprise the oldest substructure of Jeremiah and is widely perceived as antedating the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE. Although the book’s origins and subsequent development remain among the most contested issues in biblical scholarship, this material likely preserves ideas about Israel from before the exile.1
