The World English Bible (WEB): Jeremiah

"The World English Bible (WEB): Jeremiah" is intended as a message to the Jews in exile in Babylon, explaining the disaster of exile as God's response to Israel's pagan worship. The book can be conveniently divided into biographical, prose and poetic strands. The biographical section focuses on the events leading up to and surrounding the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 587 BCE. The poetic material, instead, consists of oracles in which the prophet speaks as God's messenger.
