Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 23

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Who are the evil shepherds and what constitutes the flock of sheep?
Does Jeremiah 23:3 reflect a time of exile?
Does Jeremiah 23:5 reverse the earlier prediction that there is hope for the royal house of David?
Have Jeremiah 23:7-8 been encountered earlier in Jeremiah’s prophecy?
Who is speaking in Jeremiah 23:10?
Are the prophets of Shomron (Jeremiah 23:13) loyal to their calling and what of the prophets in Jerusalem?
Why does the prophet choose to compare the lying prophets to Sedom and Amorah?
What, essentially, was the message of the false prophets (Jeremiah 23:17)?
In Jeremiah 23:25, what “medium of prophecy” appears to have been employed by the false prophets?
What is the opinion expressed re: “prophecy through dream visions” (Jeremiah 23:28)?
In the continuing denunciation of the false prophets (Jeremiah 23:32 et seq) the final denunciation in Jeremiah 23:40 indicates that their misleading will result in what timeless reputation?”
