Furthermore, while the metaphor is meant to demonstrate the divine world order in the context of sapiental lore (Amenemope; Ps 1), it reveals its critical potentiality in the accusations against God which are put forth by the persona of the prophet Jeremiah in some of the so-called „confessions” (Jer 11–12; Jer 17). |
