Cultural and Historical Background: Jeremiah was a prophet in Judah during the late 7th and early 6th centuries BC, a time of great turmoil and impending judgment. He is known for his prophecies concerning the destruction of Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile. Jeremiah's ministry spanned the reigns of several kings, and he is often called the "weeping prophet" due to his heartfelt laments over the spiritual state of his people. His writings include both warnings of judgment and promises of restoration.
