Jeremiah ministered to the people of Judah during the last days of the monarchy and the early part of the captivity. Almost all of his ministry took place in Jerusalem. He spoke to kings, priests, and prophets, as well as the ordinary citizens, and he delivered oracles against foreign nations.
"The book of Jeremiah and the book of Lamentations show how God looks at a culture which knew Him and deliberately turned away."21
