Jeremiah, known as the weeping prophet, faithfully and boldly obeyed his calling to proclaim God's judgment to an unheeding nation, yet the plight of his people affected him deeply. Through lyrical prayers and poems, the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations paint a vivid picture of human loneliness, sorrow, and suffering while revealing the beautiful hope found only in God.
