The Book of Jeremiah, or Jeremiah (יִרְמְיָהוּ Yirməyāhū in Hebrew), is part of the Hebrew Bible, Judaism's Tanakh, and later became a part of Christianity's Old Testament. It was originally written in a complex and poetic Hebrew (apart from verse 10:11, curiously written in Aramaic), recording the words and events surrounding the life of the Jewish prophet Jeremiah who lived at the time of the destruction of Solomon's Temple (587/6 BC) in Jerusalem during the fall of the Kingdom of Judah at the hands of Babylonia.

- The book of Jeremiah is the twenty-fourth book of the Old Testament and thus of the Bible. This book chronicles the life and prophecies of Jeremiah, son of Hilkiah, a Levite living within the tribe of Benjamin. It covers the period from the prophet's call in the twentieth year of the reign of King Josiah of Judah to Jeremiah's time among the Jewish refugees in Egypt after the destruction of Jerusalem. Finally, as Jerusalem was under siege, conspirators who had killed the military governor put in place by Nebuchadnezzar kidnapped Jeremiah and took him with them as they fled to Egypt.

| - The book of Jeremiah is the twenty-fourth book of the Old Testament and thus of the Bible. This book chronicles the life and prophecies of Jeremiah, son of Hilkiah, a Levite living within the tribe of Benjamin. It covers the period from the prophet's call in the twentieth year of the reign of King Josiah of Judah to Jeremiah's time among the Jewish refugees in Egypt after the destruction of Jerusalem. The prophecies predict the fall of Judah and the destruction of Jerusalem, as well as judgment to come upon those nations around Judah. Throughout the book, Jeremiah is persecuted for his uncompromising stand to the veracity of God's revealed word to himself. As a prophet and priest, Jeremiah had access to the royal family, though latter kings imprisoned him and sought his death. Finally, as Jerusalem was under siege, conspirators who had killed the military governor put in place by Nebuchadnezzar kidnapped Jeremiah and took him with them as they fled to Egypt.
