Summary

A prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2 Chronicles 35:25; referred to as Jeremiah (יִרְמְיָ֫הוּ) or Jeremiah; a son of Hilkiah.

Profile

Jeremiah was a prophet in Jerusalem before its destruction in 586 BC. People sometimes call him the "weeping prophet" because he shared his struggles and sorrows while delivering God's messages.

Jeremiah was born in Anathoth, near Jerusalem, during Manasseh’s reign. His father was Hilkiah from the tribe of Benjamin. Jeremiah became a prophet in the thirteenth year of Josiah’s reign (627 BC). At first, Jeremiah hesitated to accept his role (Jeremiah 1:6), but God promised to guide and protect him and to provide the words he needed, even when facing opposition (Jeremiah 1:7–8, 18–19).

Jeremiah warned the kings and people of Judah to repent to avoid exile. They had broken God's covenant (special agreement), mainly through idol worship (Jeremiah 10:1–16), and faced the consequences (Deuteronomy 27–28). They refused God's call to repent, so Jeremiah later announced that God's judgment was unavoidable.

Judah's leaders especially disliked Jeremiah. King Jehoiakim despised him and tried to stop him from speaking. King Zedekiah secretly asked for Jeremiah's advice but gave in to his officials when they wanted to silence the prophet. However, God's word could not be stopped. The promised judgment occurred in 586 BC: Jerusalem was attacked, the temple was destroyed, and Judah's leaders were either killed or sent to Babylon.

Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, knew about Jeremiah and liked him (Jeremiah 39:11–12). Because of this, the captain of the Babylonian army let Jeremiah stay with the people left in Judah. Jeremiah advised those who stayed to accept Babylon's rule, even after Judean rebels killed Gedaliah, the governor appointed by Babylon. The Judeans ignored Jeremiah's advice and fled to Egypt. Jeremiah was taken with them, and little more is known about him after that. Tradition says he was stoned to death by Jewish exiles in Tahpanhes, Egypt.

Jeremiah was constantly rejected, imprisoned, and physically abuse during his life. But, his ministry did have positive aspects. He predicted that the exile to Babylon would be temporary (Jeremiah 25:1–14) and that God would create a new covenant with his people (31:31–34). Jesus Christ fulfilled this promise (Luke 22:20).

    “Go down at once to the potter’s house, and there I will give you My message.”
  130. Jeremiah 18:3Referred to, not named
    So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working at the wheel.
  131. Jeremiah 18:5Referred to, not named
    Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
  132. Jeremiah 18:11Referred to, not named
    Now therefore, tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem that this is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I am planning a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways, and correct your ways and deeds.’
  133. Jeremiah 18:18
    Then some said, “Come, let us make plans against Jeremiah, for the law will never be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the wise, nor an oracle to the prophet. Come, let us denounce him and pay no heed to any of his words.”
  134. Jeremiah 18:19Referred to, not named
    Attend to me, O LORD. Hear what my accusers are saying!
  135. Jeremiah 18:20Referred to, not named
    Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember how I stood before You to speak good on their behalf, to turn Your wrath from them.
  136. Jeremiah 18:22Referred to, not named
    Let a cry be heard from their houses when You suddenly bring raiders against them, for they have dug a pit to capture me and have hidden snares for my feet.
  137. Jeremiah 18:23Referred to, not named
    But You, O LORD, know all their deadly plots against me. Do not wipe out their guilt or blot out their sin from Your sight. Let them be overthrown before You; deal with them in the time of Your anger.
  138. Jeremiah 19:1Referred to, not named
    This is what the LORD says: “Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests,
  139. Jeremiah 19:2Referred to, not named
    …and go out to the Valley of Ben-hinnom near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Proclaim there the words I speak to you,
  140. Jeremiah 19:3Referred to, not named
    …saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and residents of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on this place that the ears of all who hear of it will ring,
  141. Jeremiah 19:10Referred to, not named
    Then you are to shatter the jar in the presence of the men who accompany you,
  142. Jeremiah 19:11Referred to, not named
    …and you are to proclaim to them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I will shatter this nation and this city, like one shatters a potter’s jar that can never again be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.
  143. Jeremiah 19:14
    Then Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and proclaimed to all the people,
  144. Jeremiah 20:1
    When Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer and the chief official in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,
  145. Jeremiah 20:2
    …he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
  146. Jeremiah 20:3
    The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD does not call you Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.
  147. Jeremiah 20:7Referred to, not named
    You have deceived me, O LORD, and I was deceived. You have overcome me and prevailed. I am a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.
  148. Jeremiah 20:8Referred to, not named
    For whenever I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and destruction. For the word of the LORD has become to me a reproach and derision all day long.
  149. Jeremiah 20:9Referred to, not named
    If I say, “I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,” His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.
  150. Jeremiah 20:10Referred to, not named
    For I have heard the whispering of many: “Terror is on every side! Report him; let us report him!” All my trusted friends watch for my fall: “Perhaps he will be deceived so that we may prevail against him and take our vengeance upon him.”
  151. Jeremiah 20:11Referred to, not named
    But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.
  152. Jeremiah 20:12Referred to, not named
    O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous, who sees the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
  153. Jeremiah 20:14Referred to, not named
    Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.
  154. Jeremiah 20:15Referred to, not named
    Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, saying, “A son is born to you,” bringing him great joy.
  155. Jeremiah 20:17Referred to, not named
    …because he did not kill me in the womb so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb forever enlarged.
  156. Jeremiah 20:18Referred to, not named
    Why did I come out of the womb to see only trouble and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?
  157. Jeremiah 21:1
    This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malchijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. They said,
  158. Jeremiah 21:2Referred to, not named
    “Please inquire of the LORD on our behalf, since Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is waging war against us. Perhaps the LORD will perform for us something like all His past wonders, so that Nebuchadnezzar will withdraw from us.”
  159. Jeremiah 21:3
    But Jeremiah answered, “You are to tell Zedekiah that
  160. Jeremiah 21:8Referred to, not named
    Furthermore, you are to tell this people that this is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.
  161. Jeremiah 22:1Referred to, not named
    This is what the LORD says: “Go down to the palace of the king of Judah and proclaim this message there,
  162. Jeremiah 22:2Referred to, not named
    …saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.
  163. Jeremiah 23:9Referred to, not named
    As for the prophets: My heart is broken within me, and all my bones tremble. I have become like a drunkard, like a man overcome by wine, because of the LORD, because of His holy words.
  164. Jeremiah 23:33Referred to, not named
    “Now when this people or a prophet or priest asks you, ‘What is the burden of the LORD?’ you are to say to them, ‘What burden? I will forsake you, declares the LORD.’
  165. Jeremiah 23:36Referred to, not named
    But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes the burden, so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.
  166. Jeremiah 23:37Referred to, not named
    Thus you are to say to the prophet: ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and ‘What has the LORD spoken?’
  167. Jeremiah 24:1Referred to, not named
    After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, as well as the officials of Judah and the craftsmen and metalsmiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the LORD.
  168. Jeremiah 24:3
    “Jeremiah,” the LORD asked, “what do you see?” “Figs!” I replied. “The good figs are very good, but the bad figs are very bad, so bad they cannot be eaten.”
  169. Jeremiah 24:4Referred to, not named
    Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
  170. Jeremiah 25:1
    This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
  171. Jeremiah 25:2
    So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and all the residents of Jerusalem as follows:
  172. Jeremiah 25:3Referred to, not named
    “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
  173. Jeremiah 25:13
    I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
  174. Jeremiah 25:15Referred to, not named
    This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it.
  175. Jeremiah 25:17Referred to, not named
    So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,
  176. Jeremiah 25:27Referred to, not named
    “Then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Drink, get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, because of the sword I will send among you.’
  177. Jeremiah 25:28Referred to, not named
    If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘You most certainly must drink it!
  178. Jeremiah 25:30Referred to, not named
    So you are to prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture; like those who tread the grapes, He will call out with a shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.
  179. Jeremiah 26:2Referred to, not named
    “This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word.
  180. Jeremiah 26:4Referred to, not named
    And you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘If you do not listen to Me and walk in My law, which I have set before you,
  181. Jeremiah 26:7
    Now the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD,
  182. Jeremiah 26:8
    …and as soon as he had finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him, shouting, “You must surely die!
  183. Jeremiah 26:9
    How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted!” And all the people assembled against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
  184. Jeremiah 26:11Referred to, not named
    Then the priests and prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears!”
  185. Jeremiah 26:12
    But Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people, “The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
  186. Jeremiah 26:14Referred to, not named
    As for me, here I am in your hands; do to me what you think is good and right.
  187. Jeremiah 26:15Referred to, not named
    But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its residents; for truly the LORD has sent me to speak all these words in your hearing.”
  188. Jeremiah 26:16Referred to, not named
    Then the officials and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man is not worthy of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God!”
  189. Jeremiah 26:20
    Now there was another man prophesying in the name of the LORD, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land the same things that Jeremiah did.
  190. Jeremiah 26:24
    Nevertheless, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.
  191. Jeremiah 27:1
    At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.
  192. Jeremiah 27:2Referred to, not named
    This is what the LORD said to me: “Make for yourself a yoke out of leather straps and put it on your neck.
  193. Jeremiah 27:3Referred to, not named
    Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
  194. Jeremiah 27:4Referred to, not named
    Give them a message from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, to relay to their masters:
  195. Jeremiah 27:12Referred to, not named
    And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke the same message: “Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and live!
  196. Jeremiah 27:16Referred to, not named
    Then I said to the priests and to all this people, “This is what the LORD says: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Look, very soon now the articles from the house of the LORD will be brought back from Babylon.’ They are prophesying to you a lie.
  197. Jeremiah 28:1Referred to, not named
    In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, near the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the LORD in the presence of the priests and all the people:
  198. Jeremiah 28:5
    Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD.
  199. Jeremiah 28:6
    “Amen!” Jeremiah said. “May the LORD do so! May the LORD fulfill the words you have prophesied, and may He restore the articles of His house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon.
  200. Jeremiah 28:7Referred to, not named
    Nevertheless, listen now to this message I am speaking in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.
