Der hebräische Text von Jeremia verwendet unpassende oder symmetrische Elemente, um Wortspiele zu erzeugen, die ein kontextbezogenes Thema aufzeigen. Während diese Art von Wortspiel in der Hebräischen Bibel in der Forschung bisher weitgehend ignoriert wurde, zeigt Josiah D. Peeler, dass es ein gängiges Mittel in der Herstellung altorientalischer Texte war.
