How old was Jeremiah the prophet when he began his ministry?

In: Old Testament [Edit categories]

Answer:

Jeremiah himself, at the time of his call by God, complained that he was 'only a youth.' No other information is given and so one must to a degree guess, allowing for the classifications of the day. He thus could have been anywhere from mid teens to mid twenties.
