Objawienie Boga w Jr 9,22-23

Abstract

In the Bible we find many monotheistic texts, but none in the book of Jeremiah. This paper examines Jer 9,22-23 as a text, which shows Jahweh as the one existing God, but does not speak about it expresis verbis. The first part of this article shows the main ideas of Jer 9,22-23: the wisdom of a man who knows Jahweh. The second part contains the analysis of God’s revelations, and the third describes the characteristic of Jahweh. Only Jahweh is able to help His people. Jeremiah remembers God’s miracles in the history of his forefathers, His love to Abram’s sons, and therefore when He said: „I am Jahweh”, he understands that this is the new revelation of God – the merciful and the One. The man, who understands this ideas becomes a wise man.
