Prophet Jeremiah did he weep a lot?

Answer 1

Mainly Jeremiah warned the people repeatedly to repent from their sins, or god would punish them severally , But they refused to hear the warning of Jeremiah the prophet, and in the end the Jews-were taken as slaves again to Babylon.

Answer 2

Jeremiah the prophet lived a difficult life and had to deal with very difficult situations and some refer to him as the "weeping prophet" because he did not hold back from his honest emotions for the messages he had to deliver and the prophecies he recorded.

(Jeremiah 8:21, 22) Over the breakdown of the daughter of my people I have become shattered. I have grown sad. Outright astonishment has seized hold of me. 22 Is there no balsam in Gil′e·ad? Or is there no healer there? Why is it, then, that the recuperation of the daughter of my people has not come up?

(Jeremiah 9:1) O that my head were waters, and that my eyes were a source of tears! Then I could weep day and night for the slain ones of the daughter of my people.

Answer 3

As the Hebrew name Jeremiah (bitterness) alludes, Jeremiah faced the bitter opposition of certain enemies, and had the unenviable and bitter task of prophesying the First Destruction. He lived a few decades before the Babylonian conquest, by which time it was all but inevitable.

• Jeremiah's hardships:
  

1) At first he was unsure of his readiness to be a prophet (ch.1).
2) His prophecies included the impending Destruction (21:10 and other verses), and this caused him anguish (10:19).
3) There were false prophets who contradicted Jeremiah's words (14:14).
4) People cursed him because of his dire prophecies (15:10).
5) People hit him (20:2 and 37:14).
6) He was detained like a criminal (ibid; and 33:1 and 37:15).
7) He was threatened with death (26:8).
8) He witnessed the destruction of the cities of Judah by the Babylonians (34:7; 39:2).
9) He had to prophesy to the king about the Destruction, and the king got angry and burned the scroll of prophecies (ch.36).
10) He was thrown into a mud-pit and nearly drowned (38:10).
11) He was accused of lying (43:2).
Jeremiah was a contemporary of the Prophetess Huldah and King Yoshiah. This was about 40 years before the First Destruction, a couple of generations after the Ten Tribes went lost. The Tribe of Judah was nearing the end of its monarchy, as the prophets (including Jeremiah) had been warning them constantly. Jeremiah lived long enough to witness the Destruction; and he penned the Book of Lamentations (Eichah). Tradition states that he also wrote the Book of Kings.See also the Related Links.
