Called the "Weeping" Prophet. Read book of Jeremiah verses 1-3 to get his background, a good study Bible would help you also.

Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet because He spoke of the judgement of God and prophisied their suffering, his weeping was because he knew that they wouldn't repent.
Jeremiah 1:1-2 (NLT)
These are the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests from Anathoth, a town in the land of Benjamin. [2] The Lord first gave messages to Jeremiah during the thirteenth year of King Josiah's reign in Judah.
I hope this is what you were asking for
