Jeremiah (
c.650–
c.585 bc), a Hebrew major prophet who foresaw the fall of Assyria, the conquest of his country by Egypt and Babylon, and the destruction of Jerusalem. The biblical
Lamentations are traditionally ascribed to him.
In extended usage, a Jeremiah is a person who complains continually or foretells disaster. A
jeremiad is a long, mournful complaint or lamentation, a list of woes, as uttered by the prophet.
