Jeremiah focuses on the word more than any other prophet: Jeremiah says “thus says the LORD” 155 times – which is more than the rest of the OT combined! (Shead, 45) And he uses the phrase “declares the LORD” 167 times – which also is more than the rest of the OT combined! (Shead, 46)
That’s 322 references to “the word of the LORD” in 52 chapters. And that’s not including phrases like “the word of the LORD came to me” – or “as the LORD commanded me.”
Jeremiah relentlessly reminds us that he is not saying hard things because he feels like it. He is saying hard things because the LORD insists upon it! The LORD has spoken. The God who created all things has declared it.
