"Oracle of the Lord" use in Jeremiah

[Beeline]

“oracle of the Lord” is used repeatedly throughout the Book of Jeremiah, but its intended purpose is obscure or ambiguous.

Is it?:

1. being used to indicated a strong statement of the Lord?
2. addressing Jeremiah?

If you have an opinion/knowledge where does it derive from?

 

[GEddie]

Possibly both 1 and 2.

I’ll see what else I can find.

well I used www.biblehub.com and www.biblegateway.com

and checked a couple of these verses for “oracle of the Lord”
Basically compared to other bible translations, but mine is the NAB/Nabre:

seems “Oracle of the Lord” is equivalent to " declares/says the Lord"
may not be true in every instance, but I didnt want to check the what seems like 50,60 or moreof these.

The NABRE translation of this is really bad and confusing: “Oracle of the Lord”

Oracle means, a prophetic understanding of the future.
