“The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.”
The superscription dates the prophecy to 'the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah,' corresponding to 587 BCE when the Babylonian siege was underway. Theologically, this timing demonstrates that the promise of restoration comes in the midst of military collapse.
