Abstract
According to some scholars some of the oldest texts in the book of Jeremiah can be found in the words from the foe from the north in Jer 4–6. Originally these texts were words of the prophet and spoken from a human point of view. Their characterization as Words of YHWH and the divine perspective is therefore regarded as a result of the literary development of these texts and the theological reflection on the disaster of 587 BC. The paper will follow this approach. The possibilities and limits of the distinction between Word of God and word of man as an indication for literary development in the texts from the foe from the north shall be examined.
