Jeremiah always prayed for his country and his people. He also warned them that if they continue to sin , God will punish them. Naturally they did not listen and instead threw Jeremiah down into a deep hole. Jeremiah did not scream for help, he just kept on praying for his country and his people.
His writings are put together in the Book of Jeremiah and, according to tradition, the Book of Lamentations. Jeremiah is also famous as "the broken-hearted prophet" (who wrote or dictated a "broken-hearted book", which has been difficult for scholars to put into chronological order), whose heart-rending life, and true prophecies of dire warning went largely unheeded by the people of Israel. God told Jeremiah, "You will go to them; but for their part, they will not listen to you".
Then say,
So will Babylon sink to rise no more
because of the disaster I will bring upon her.
And her people will fall.
The words of Jeremiah end here.
~ Jeremiah 51:64

~ Psalm 110:4
Before my being your mercy came through me,
bringing existence to nothing to shape me.
Who is it conceived of my form—and who
cast it then in a kiln to create me?
Who breathed soul inside me—and who
opened the belly of hell and withdrew me?
Who through youth brought me this far?
Who with wisdom and wonder endowed me?
I’m clay cupped in your hands, it’s true;
it’s you, I know, not I who made me.
I’ll confess my sin and will not say
the serpent’s ways, or evil seduced me.
How could I hide my error from you when
before my being your mercy came through me?
~ Solomon Ibn Gabirol
