~627–580 BCE, the final years of Judah and the Babylonian exile
Prophet of Anathoth, called as a youth, who warned Judah for forty years that Jerusalem would fall to Babylon. He was imprisoned, thrown in a cistern, mocked, and nearly killed for his message. He watched Jerusalem burn. He wrote Lamentations. The confessions embedded in his book are among the most raw expressions of prophetic anguish in the canon.
On their voice
~627–580 BCE. He preached through the reigns of Josiah, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah, until the city fell. He was forbidden to marry by divine command. He argued with God and accused God of deceiving him. He wept over everything.
