<p> [[One]] of the chief prophets of the [[Old]] Testament, prophesied under Josiah, Jehoiakim, and Zedekiah, and also after the captivity of the latter. [[He]] was born at Anathoth, of the race of the priests, and was destined of [[God]] to be a prophet, and consecrated for that object before his birth, [[Jeremiah]] 1:1,5 . At an early age he was called to act as a prophet, B. C. 628, in the thirteenth year of [[King]] Josiah. This good king no doubt cooperated with him to promote the reformation of the people; but the subsequent life of the prophet was full of afflictions and persecutions. [[Jehoiakim]] threw his prophetic roll into the fire, and sought his life. [[Zedekiah]] was kindly instructed by him, and warned of the woes impending over his guilty people, and of their seventy years' captivity, but to no purpose. The fidelity of the prophet often endangered his life, and he was in prison when [[Jerusalem]] was taken by Nebuchadnezzar. That monarch released him, and offered him a home in Babylon; but he chose to remain with the remnant of the Jews, and was carried by them before long into Egypt, B. C. 586, still faithfully advising and reproving them till he died. [[For]] forty-two years he steadfastly maintained the cause of truth and of God against his rebellious people. [[Though]] naturally mild, sensitive, and retiring, he shrank from no danger when duty called; threats could not silence him, nor ill usage alienate him. [[Tenderly]] compassionate to his infatuated countrymen, he shared with them the woes, which he could not induce them to avert from their own heads. </p>
<p> '''Jeremiah, Book of.''' This prophecy embraces a period of upwards of 40 years, between b.c. 628 and b.c. 586. It relates to the judgments that were to come upon the people for their gross idolatry and corruption; to the restoration which awaited them, whenever they would repent of and forsake their sins; and to the glory which would arise on the church in future times. Melancholy, tender sensibility, and a tone of grief, are the distinguishing characteristics of Jeremiah's style. The several prophecies may be arranged thus: I. The introduction, chap. 1. II. Reproofs of the sins of the Jews, consisting of seven sections—a, &nbsp;Jeremiah 2:1-37, ''B.'' 3-6, ''C.'' 7-10, ''D.'' 11-13, ''E.'' &nbsp;Jeremiah 14:1 to &nbsp;Jeremiah 17:18, ''F.'' &nbsp;Jeremiah 17:19-20, ''G.'' 21-24. [[Iii. A]] general review of the heathen nations, and also of the people of Israel, consisting of two sections— ''A'' . 46-49, which may have been transposed, ''B'' . 25, and an historical appendix in three sections— ''A'' . 26, ''B.'' 27, c. 28, 29. IV. Two sections picturing the hopes of brighter times— ''A'' . 30, 31, ''B'' . 32, 33, to which is added an historical appendix in three sections— ''A'' . &nbsp;Jeremiah 34:1-7, ''B.'' &nbsp;Jeremiah 34:8-22, ''C'' . 35. V. The conclusion, in two sections— ''A'' . 36, ''B'' . 45. [[Added]] some time afterwards— ''A.'' 37-39, ''B.'' 40-43, ''C'' . &nbsp;Jeremiah 46:13-26. The fifty-second chapter of Jeremiah is nearly the same with &nbsp;2 Kings 24:18 to &nbsp;2 Kings 25:30. Both were mainly drawn from the same sources. The order of the prophecies of Jeremiah, from chap. 21:15 to the end of the book, is different in the [[Septuagint]] version from that of the [[Hebrew]] text; for those prophecies which, in the Hebrew, occupy the last place—46-51—are found in the Greek translation after chap. &nbsp;2 Kings 25:14, and in a different order. In some editions of the Septuagint the chapters are as in the Hebrew. </p>
