Editing Book of Jeremiah (section)

== Structure ==
:(Taken from [[Michael D. Coogan]]'s ''A Brief Introduction to the Old Testament''; other sources will give slightly different divisions)

It is difficult to discern any structure in Jeremiah, probably because the book had such a long and complex composition history.{{sfn|Kugler|Hartin|2009|p=241}} It can be divided into roughly six sections:{{sfn|Coogan|2008|p=299}}
*[[Jeremiah 1|Chapters 1]][[Jeremiah 25|–25]] (The earliest and main core of Jeremiah's message)
*[[Jeremiah 26|Chapters 26]][[Jeremiah 29|–29]] (Biographic material and interaction with other prophets)
*[[Jeremiah 30|Chapters 30]][[Jeremiah 33|–33]] (God's promise of restoration including Jeremiah's "new covenant" which is [[New Covenant#Judaism|interpreted differently in Judaism]] than it is in [[New Covenant#Christianity|Christianity]])
*[[Jeremiah 34|Chapters 34]][[Jeremiah 45|–45]] (Mostly interaction with [[Zedekiah]] and the fall of Jerusalem)
*[[Jeremiah 46|Chapters 46]][[Jeremiah 51|–51]] (Divine punishment to the nations surrounding Israel)
*[[Jeremiah 52|Chapter 52]] (Appendix that retells [[2 Kings]])<ref>{{bibleref2-nb|2 Kings|24:18–25:30|NKJV}}</ref>
