Jeremiah, 24 of 66
One of my Bible profs in college used to call Jeremiah the “wailing prophet”. He spoke early and often and he message was never good. In fact, quite frankly, Jeremiah’s whole life didn’t seem to go well. Every time he spoke people got mad at him, every time he pronounced judgment on Israel, the people scorned him and wished him dead. He actually got thrown in a pit in the stocks and people came by and through rotten food at him. All because Jeremiah conveyed the message of God to a stiff-necked and perverse people.
