Jeremiah 7th century BC
Old Testament prophet

Born in Anathoth, near Jerusalem, he was the son of Hilkiah the priest. He was in Jerusalem during the siege by Nebuchadnezzar, and is said to have been martyred at Tahpanhes in Egypt. The Book of Jeremiah warned of the impending fall of Jerusalem to Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian exile, and foretold the coming of a Messiah.
