I like Jeremiah. We have the word 'jeremiad' in English which the COD defines as: 'a long mournful complaint...' and let`s face it, neither the book which bears Jeremiah`s name nor his other work 'Lamentations' are going to make their readers laugh a lot. They are not easy to read. The Book of Jeremiah describes how a young man reluctantly speaks words which are seen as traitorous by the religious establishment of the day. But Jeremiah didn`t hugely care what they thought of him. He just said what God told him to say.
I wish I was more like him.
