Questions
== Critics claim that Nephi's mention of Jeremiah being put into prison (1 Nephi 7꞉14) is anachronistic, since Jeremiah would not have been in prison when Lehi left Jerusalem.
Source(s) of the criticism
==Detailed Analysis
==
Jeremiah was put into prison at least twice during Zedekiah's reign: once soon after Zedekiah ascended the throne (see Jeremiah 37:1,15.)
Jeremiah was released at some point, and again able to preach. He was later put into prison again. (See Jeremiah 38:1-6,13,28.)
The book of Jeremiah is not in strict chronological order; care must be taken with each event to be certain that we understand the proper timing for a given account.
==Answer
==
Jeremiah was imprisoned on more than one occasion; the Biblical account and the Book of Mormon account are not in contradiction.
== Notes ==
