Who is the prophet Jeremiah?
Like Isaiah and Ezekiel, Jeremiah was a man called by God to take his message, not only to the religious and political authorities, but also to the Jewish people who had rebelled against God. It is said that he was born in the village of Anathoth, in the territory of Benjamin. He is also the author of the lyrics in the book of Lamentations, and as a curious fact it can be said that some people use the term “jeremiad” to refer to a person who complains a lot.

Later he accepted the call of God and began to announce to the people the destruction of Jerusalem and the deportation to Babylon because of his idolatry.
