At first Jeremiah - the son of a village Priest - resisted the call to become a Prophet by complaining he was only a child and didn't know how to speak; God disagreed: "Get yourself ready, Jeremiah!" (Jeremiah 1:17). He knew the qualities of a Prophet included "not being afraid" ... "standing up to speak" ... "speaking only as told" ... and "going where sent" - in other words, a soldier enlisted in the military. Jeremiah started his Prophetic career both well-trained and fully literate. With such strengths within him, it was not difficult for Jeremiah to use his Prophetic gift to condemn idolatry (chapters 3 and 4), and call out the greed of priests and false prophets (chapter 6). We could say that Jeremiah born to fight for the right!
