Zusammenfassung:Sharp provides a literary analysis of key passages in Jeremiah that ring changes on the terminology of building/planting and uprooting/pulling down/overthrowing that permeates Jeremiah's call as a prophet to the nations. The concern in Jeremiah for the engagement of Israelite prophets generally and Jeremiah in particular with other nations has been developed literarily in two different traditioning processes, the one reflecting the vested political interests of the court officials and others deported to Babylon in 597 and the other traceable to an editorial group based in Palestine that resisted the 597 gola's interpretations.
