A Man Who Is Not Afraid

There are some people that are making fun of a young man. This young man is Jeremiah. He is a very important prophet of God.

Soon after King Jo-si'ah starts destroying the idols out of the land, Jehovah tells Jeremiah to be His prophet. However, Jeremiah things his is too young to be a prophet.  But Jehovah says that He will help him.

Jeremiah tells the Israelites to stop doing bad things.  'The gods that the people of the nations worship are false,' he says.  But many Israelites would rather worship idols than worship the true God Jehovah.  When Jeremiah tells people that God will punish  them for their badness, they just laugh at him.
