Abstract
This article is a rhetorical study of Jeremiah 7:1-15. It attempts to
show that a rhetorical analysis of Jeremiah helps the reader to
understand the different parts of the speech correctly, to discover what
was mentioned and what was not mentioned in it, and to identify the
target audience and the methods of persuasion used by the prophet.
This is not merely a literary analysis of Jeremiah's speech, but
primarily a critical examination of how Jeremiah planned to deliver his
words to the audience. My analysis concludes that Jeremiah's speech
is planned and well organised, and that all its parts logically
interconnect. Jeremiah uses many traditions from the past, and on the
basis of these traditions, presents new arguments
