A. "Some believe he was murdered in Egypt by those angered by his prophecies. It is known that he lived into the reign of Evil-merodach, son of Nebuchadnezzar, and may have been about ninety years of age at his death. We have no authentic record of his death; he may have died at Tahpanes, or, according to a tradition, may have gone to Babylon with the army of Nebuchadnezzar."
B. "and he was stoned to death in Taphnas by his own people about the year 583 B.C., since they would not endure to hear the truth of his words and his just rebukes. "
C. The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, Chapter 38 verse 28 "So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken"

Tradition and "some say" doesn t count. He was there in Jerusalem, after most of the people were either carried off to Babylon or killed. He had told the people that anyone who refused Nebuchadnezzar would die, and he was taken to Babylon with those who didn t resist. King Jehoiachin, king of Judah, was brought out of prison after 37 yrs and lived the rest of his days in Nebuchadnezzar s son Evil-merodach s courts, was fed at the king s table, for the rest of his days. Jeremiah was taken to Egypt. The OT doesn t say he later returned, but Jeremiah shows, clearly, in his Lamentations, that he knew, first hand, the sufferings and starvation during the siege of Jerusalem. He said the people were starving so much that even mothers were cooking and cannibalizing their babies, and it was dangerous to go out in the streets. Even the priests were defiling themselves by murdering. It was all because their sin was so great, after God had warned them, for years, thru Jeremiah. At the end, he tells, in Lamentations, for Edom to enjoy themselves while they could, as the punishment would come to them after the punishment of Zion was complete. God made it clear He would never totally abandon Israel, though He has allowed great persecutions and near extinction at times....all to purge them. The Messiah came thru the line of David, as promised (they were the "chosen" to have Him come thru them), and when He returns, He will return to that people. For the final destruction of the wicked everywhere, and the gathering of His people, both by lineage and the adopted, those who are faithful.
