On v derznovennoy molitve krichal k Bogu o pomilovanii lyubimogo naroda; on v skorbnom plache oroshal slezami doroguyu zemlyu, kotoruyu ozhidala gor´kaya sud´ba. On mog smelo voyti kak v gryaznuyu masterskuyu gorshechnika, tak i v svetlye tsarskie khoromy i besstrashno veshchat´ volyu Yakhve. On, bezzavetno lyubivshiy svoy narod, okazalsya u nego posmeshishchem i izgoem, chuzhim sredi svoikh. On razdelil bednotu so svoim neschastnym narodom, otvergnuv bogatuyu roskosh´ gordykh yazychnikov. Nakonets, on upal ubiennym, obnazhiv svoyu golovu pod udary togo samogo naroda, kotoromu posvyatil zhizn´. Eto byl prorok Bozhiy - pravednyy Ieremiya. V dannoy knige avtor postavil tsel´yu prolistat´ v Svyashchennom Pisanii, iudeyskoy i khristianskoy traditsiyakh stranitsy o blazhennom Ieremii, chtoby s raznykh storon vzglyanut´ na ego obraz. Kniga obrashchena ko vsyakomu zainteresovannomu chitatelyu, pristupayushchemu k chteniyu Svyashchennogo Pisaniya.
