The Book of Jeremiah (Hebrew ירמיהו, Yermihàu; Greek Ιερεμίας, Ieremías; Latin Ieremias) is a text contained in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.

It is written in Hebrew and, according to the hypothesis most shared by scholars, the final writing of the book took place in Judea in 5th century BC, based on previous oracles attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, active in the Kingdom of Judah between about 626-586 BC.

It consists of 52 chapters and, in addition to the typical themes of the Hebrew prophets (fidelity to God, contempt for the nations and pagan idols), the specific theme of the book is that of the invitation to submission to the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which was not followed by King Ioiakim and the ruling class and which led to the deportation and exile from Babylon. God, through Jeremiah, wants to announce to his people the will that they, free from all ambitions of a powerful nature, be a faithful people, completely entrusted to his paternity, under which they can live in harmony defending the right of all.
