Jeremiah was an Israelite prophet. He authored the book of Jeremiah.

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. However, his prophecies of an eventual redemption meant that the impending Destruction would serve a purpose and would not spell the end of the Jewish people.

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.
