Doctrine Analysis

Jeremiah — Doctrine Analysis (Hmong Language Package, Baseline v1.0)

Governing principle: The core passage (Jeremiah 31:31-34) is the theological anchor of this curriculum, not its scope boundary. Per the PRD Phase 1 full-book-coverage mandate, Part A below presents the complete doctrine matrix (identical in doctrine set and risk tier to assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json), and Part B logs every chapter of Jeremiah (1-52) against that matrix, explicitly marking chapters that contribute no new terms or doctrinal load as “reviewed — no new load” rather than omitting them.

Part A: Doctrine Matrix (Full Book)

ID	Doctrine	Supporting Passages (book-wide)	Risk Level	Translation Risk Description	Review Routing
1	The New Covenant	Jer 24:7; 30:22; 31:31-34 (core); 32:38-40; 33:14-16; 33:20-26 (covenant with day/night certainty-analogy); 50:5	Critical	Stacks three collision risks: (a) “kev cog lus” (covenant) resonates with revocable, bilateral Hmong betrothal/clan-alliance oath-pacts, whereas God’s covenant is unilaterally sustained despite Israel’s breach (31:32); ancestor-spirit-invoked oath vocabulary must never attach. (b) “lub siab” (heart) as the site of law-writing (31:33) risks being heard as self-achieved moral resolve rather than a sovereign divine act — the same moralism risk the Romans TM flags for justification vocabulary. (c) “paub Vajtswv” (know the LORD, 31:34) risks collapsing into mere factual theism rather than the intimate, mediation-free relational knowing the New Covenant promises. All three disambiguating strategies must be preserved simultaneously in every generated unit touching this doctrine.	Human theologian
2	Judgment for Covenant Unfaithfulness and Idolatry	Jer 2:1-13; 3:1-10; 5:7-9; 7:1-34 (Temple sermon, Topheth); 11:1-13; 16:10-13; 19:1-13; 21:1-10; 25:1-14 (cup of wrath); 34:8-22; 39:1-10 (fall of Jerusalem); 44:1-23	Critical	The central metaphor — idolatry as marital “harlotry” (zanah, “kev ua nkauj rau luag dab”) — and the central condemned object — “dab mlom” (idol) — name the actual devotional vocabulary and image-veneration practice of Hmong traditional religion rather than a foreign historical target. Child sacrifice at Topheth (7:31; 19:5; 32:35) reuses the sacrificial-offering domain (fij) that elsewhere names both Christ’s atonement and Christian ethical devotion; without rigorous disambiguation the condemned-atrocity sense could bleed into, or be confused with, the positive sacrificial vocabulary.	Human theologian
3	The Weeping Prophet and the Cost of Faithful Ministry	Jer 8:18-9:1; 11:18-23; 13:17; 15:10-21; 20:1-18; 26:20-23; 36:1-32 (Baruch’s scroll, hostility); 37:11-38:28	High	”Kev quaj ntsuag” (lament) has a genuine positive cultural bridge in the Hmong sung-funeral-lament tradition (kwv txhiaj), but that tradition is inseparably bound to funerary rites guiding a deceased person’s soul — a ritual complex distinct from Jeremiah’s prophetic grief over covenant sin and coming judgment. Without an explicit disambiguating note, hearers may assimilate the prophet’s weeping into the ancestor-veneration funerary frame rather than hearing it as costly identification with God’s own grief, diluting the doctrine into generic bereavement.	Human theologian
4	False Prophets versus True Prophecy	Jer 6:13-14; 8:10-11; 14:13-16; 23:9-40; 27:9-10; 28:1-17 (Hananiah test-case); 29:8-9; 36:1-32 (word of the LORD vs. royal suppression)	Critical	The real-world referent implicitly contrasted is the Hmong shamanic diviner (txiv neeb) and divinatory practice (kev saib yaig, kev ua noaj) named directly in ch.27, 29. If the “cuav” (false/counterfeit) qualifier on “tus Cev Vajtswv Lus Cuav” is ever dropped, or divination vocabulary presented neutrally, the discernment framework collapses into treating biblical prophecy and shamanic divination as two flavors of one spiritual-authority category — precisely the syncretism the text forecloses. The fulfillment-based discernment criterion (23:28; ch.28) must be preserved as empirically grounded, not merely asserted.	Human theologian
5	God’s Sovereign Plans for His People	Jer 1:4-10; 18:1-10 (potter/clay); 25:1-14; 27:5-7; 29:10-14; 32:17-27; 46:1-51:64 (oracles against the nations, sovereignty over all peoples)	Critical	The potter/clay metaphor and “Vajtswv tej Homphiaj” (plans/purposes of God, 29:11) sit over the same Critical collision the Romans baseline flags for election/foreknowledge: the Hmong cosmological concept of impersonal fate/fortune (hmoov), assigned by ancestors or cosmic forces and unalterable by the individual. If rendered through hmoov vocabulary, God’s personal, purposeful, relationally-responsive sovereignty (18:7-10’s explicit conditionality) collapses into fatalism, eliminating both moral responsibility and personal divine benevolence.	Human theologian
6	Individual Responsibility	Jer 17:9-10; 31:29-30; 32:18-19; 35:1-19 (Rechabites, contrastive lineage-faithfulness); 44:1-10	High	Jeremiah 31:29-30’s declaration that each person bears his own guilt, not a father’s, runs directly against the strong Hmong cultural framework of clan-based corporate and intergenerational liability (ancestral curses, unresolved ritual debts passed down a lineage until ritually remedied). Without a dedicated contrast note, the rendering risks being heard either as denying real corporate solidarity Scripture elsewhere affirms (the exiled remnant’s collective disobedience, chs.42-44), or as merely reinforcing the existing ancestral-debt worldview rather than correcting it toward direct individual accountability before God.	Human theologian
7	Hope of Restoration after Exile	Jer 29:10-14; 30:1-3, 18-22; 31:1-14; 32:36-44; 33:6-13; 40:1-41:18 (post-fall remnant continuity); 52:31-34 (Jehoiachin’s release, epilogue of hope)	High	The recurring formula “shuv shevut” (restore the fortunes) risks a fate-based mistranslation via hmoov vocabulary, permanently forbidden for any personal, sovereign divine action in this Language Package. This doctrine’s salvation-adjacent vocabulary also inherits the Romans-baseline collision for kev cawm dim (“dim,” escape), which parallels shamanic soul-rescue ritual (ua neeb). Restoration must be anchored explicitly as God’s sovereign, covenant-keeping initiative, not a reversal of impersonal luck or a repeatable ritual rescue.	Human theologian

Tier summary: Doctrines 1, 2, 4, 5 = Critical (human theologian review, no automated bypass). Doctrines 3, 6, 7 = High (human theologian review, no automated bypass). There is no Medium- or Low-risk doctrine in this Language Package — identical to the risk profile pattern already established for Romans.

Part C: Core Passage Concentration Note (Jeremiah 31:31-34)

The core passage carries the single highest doctrinal-risk density in the book: it activates Doctrine 1 (Critical) directly, Doctrine 6 (High, via 31:29-30 immediately prior) and Doctrine 7 (High, via the restoration frame of the whole “Book of Consolation,” chs. 30-33) contextually, and touches Doctrine 5 (Critical) through its implicit claim that this covenant renewal is God’s sovereign initiative, not Israel’s achievement. Any Phase 2 generation unit built around 31:31-34 must therefore satisfy the preservation rules for Doctrines 1, 5, 6, and 7 simultaneously and route to human theologian review with no automated-review bypass, consistent with assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json’s routing rule for Critical/High tiers.
