Page "Book of Jeremiah" Paragraph 24
from
Wikipedia
Jeremiah ’ s “ confessions ” are a type of individual lament.
Such laments are found elsewhere in the psalms and the book of Job.
Like Job, Jeremiah curses the day of his birth ( Jer.
20. 14-18 and Job 3. 3-10 ).
Likewise, Jeremiah ’ s exclamation “ For I hear the whispering of many: Terror is all around !” ( Jer.
20. 10 ) matches Psalm 31. 13 exactly.
However, Jeremiah ’ s laments are made unique by his insistence that he has been called by Yahweh to deliver his messages.
These laments that are attributed to Jeremiah “ provide a unique look at the prophet's inner struggle with faith, persecution, and human suffering ”.
