| Summary |
"The Bible, King James version, Book 24: Jeremiah" by Anonymous is a religious text, likely written in the late 7th century BC, during a time of great upheaval in the Kingdom of Judah. This biblical book presents the prophecies and messages delivered by the prophet Jeremiah, who is called by God to warn the people of impending doom due to their disobedience and idolatry. The themes of judgment, repentance, and divine mercy are prevalent, as Jeremiah calls the people to return to faithfulness. The opening of Jeremiah introduces the prophet himself, recounting his divine commission from God. He expresses hesitance about his youth and ability to speak, but God reassures him with promises of protection and empowerment. The text continues to present visions that symbolize God's impending judgment on Judah for their wrongdoings, including idolatrous practices and social injustices. Jeremiah's role as a prophet involves communicating these harsh truths to a resistant audience, foreshadowing the trials he will face as he carries out his mission to call the people to repentance.
