Jeremiah, the author of this book, was born in approximately 650 BC. He was called by God to prophesy to the southern kingdom of Judah of the imminent judgement due to their disobedience to God.

Though Judah was given forty years to repent, the people continued in sin and were eventually exiled to Babylon in 586 BC.
