Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. He told people what God told him to say. The people did not listen and Jeremiah was very disappointed. He spoke to God about it and God told him that he should not become disheartened. Jeremiah wanted God to punish these people. God told him in Jeremiah 12:5 “If running with the fighting-men has made you tired, how will you be able to keep up with horses?” We do not live in God’s world and we all pay the price for that.
