15. What message did Jeremiah proclaim?

¹⁵ Jeremiah, who served from 647 to 580 B.C.E., is often unjustly labeled a “calamity howler.” Without a doubt, he did an outstanding job of warning the wicked Israelites of the calamities that Jehovah would bring on them.a But he also proclaimed good news, foretelling the return of God’s people to their land and the restoration of pure worship there.​—Jer. 29:10-14; 33:10, 11.
