Covering a period including the battles of Megiddo and Carchemish, this book is named for the son of Hilkiah, a priest from Anathoth. Claiming that "I do not how to speak, for I am only a youth", the author foresees that the Chaldeans will return, take Jerusalem, and burn it with fire. Earlier, the author bewails the death of the pious king Josiah, and the second part's oracles were preserved by its namesake's secretary, Baruch. For ten points, name this book of the Bible, a collection of oracles from a prophet who saw the beginning of the Babylonian Captivity.
