“Question & Answer”

Question:

In the book of Jeremiah, what was Jeremiah’s wisdom?

Answer:
In the book of Jeremiah, the prophet Jeremiah communicates profound wisdom. Let’s explore a couple of key passages:

Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NIV):

The Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight”.
Here, Jeremiah emphasizes that true wisdom lies in knowing God and living justly and righteously.
Jeremiah 10:12:

“The Lord made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding”.
Jeremiah acknowledges God’s wisdom as the foundation of creation.
Jeremiah 8:9:

“Your wise men have rejected what I say, and so they have no wisdom. Now they will be trapped and put to shame; they won’t know what to do”.
Jeremiah warns that rejecting God’s word leads to a lack of true wisdom.
In summary, Jeremiah’s wisdom revolves around recognizing God’s sovereignty, practicing kindness and justice, and seeking understanding.
