This was a fulfillment of earlier prophecies given by Jeremiah and other prophets, warning of the consequences of Judah's disobedience to God. The siege was a common military tactic of the time, intended to cut off supplies and weaken the city before an assault.and Jeremiah the prophet Jeremiah, known as the "weeping prophet," was called by God to deliver messages of judgment and hope to Judah. His ministry spanned over 40 years, during which he faced significant opposition and persecution. Jeremiah's role as a prophet was to communicate God's will, often through symbolic actions and direct messages.was imprisoned in the courtyard of the guard Jeremiah's imprisonment was due to his unpopular prophecies, which were seen as demoralizing to the people and the king.
