Jeremiah was one of those who urged Jehoiakim to surrender to Nebuchadrezzar rather than risk disaster for Jerusalem. The great prophet Jeremiah lived during the most crucial period of Judah's existence as a kingdom. He saw the destruction of Jerusalem and the holyTemple, after he had incessantly warned his people to mend their ways before it was too late. And when the catastrophe finally overwhelmed his people, he was the one who bitterly lamented Israel's terrible fate in the Book of Echah (Lamentations) which we read on Tisha B'Av, the anniversary of that catastrophe. At the same time, he proved to be a true friend in need, by helping his stricken people to bear the blow with courage and dignity, and by pointing out to them the path that would lead to restoration and redemption.
According to the Bible, the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel (which means, "may God strengthen him" in Hebrew) was exiled to Babylon at age 25 with 3,000 other upper class jews exiled by the Babylonian armies. His time and experiences are recorded in the Biblical book of "Ezekiel." His Biblical contemporary and peer is the Hebrew prophet Jeremiah who lived in Jerusalem at the time.

And this revelation inspired him to pray and repent for himself and for his people, in Daniel 9.3 to 21

The Bible account in Jeremiah 37 through 39 records that the last king of Judah was Zedekiah. He sought the advice of the prophet Jeremiah and then rejected that advice, making a military alliance with Egypt against the Babylonians. In the end, Babylon defeated Judah, Egypt abandoned King Zedekiah, and his eyes were put out and he was carried away to Babylon as a slave. (See also 2 Kings 25:1-7).
