Book of Jeremiah 16-35

Narrative interruptions are a marked difference between Book of Isaiah and Book of Jeremiah, among other things.  They're far more common in Jeremiah, to the point where it begins to read like a third version of Kings/Chronicles (yay!).  Which also has the effect of my having less to talk about.

Although the one interesting part of that, as in the difference between Kings and Chronicles (where Jeremiah grows in prominence in the latter), is that our man becomes that much more central to the story.  It also means he gets in trouble for his prophecies of doom.  It's the difference between sitting there writing commentaries and being out on the street talking about how bad everyone is compared to what they should be like if they truly consider themselves God's people.  In other words, the main distinction (which I believe I'm reiterating) of this book is that it's the guy telling people who don't want to hear about what's going wrong versus preaching to the choir (which is what we imagine similar books to be).

Upper rooms are mentioned.  An upper room is central to the story of the Last Supper in the New Testament, you'll remember.  Clearly they're an institution of households for some time.

Micah is referenced as a precedent to the kind of work Jeremiah is doing.

Uriah is another.  He's murdered for his efforts.  Poor Uriah!

The false prophet Hananiah, who speaks of peace (again, that disparity between what religious people today think of peace and war and what religious people back then thought of the same things), is used to illustrate all the false prophets Jeremiah is meant to counterbalance.

Shenaiah is another false prophet.  These dueling prophets are almost like what the New Testament would have read like it it had included all the people who claimed to be the messiah at the same time as Jesus (as humorously depicted in Life of Brian)..

Hopefully, Jeremiah speaks of days to come where God will no longer be punishing his people, which Christians would describe as the era Jesus utters, breaking the old cycle, a suggestion already brought up previously in the Old Testament.

Baruch is mentioned.  Like Micah, he has his own book later on in the Bible.  Right after Lamentations, in fact, in my edition.
