Jeremiah is known as "The weeping prophet."
It is one thing to read words on a page and know that 2700 years ago a man suffered scorn, ridicule and imprisonment, all at the hands of those he was sent to save, simply for delivering a message. It is quite another to hear his voice brought back from the dead, his anguished and tormented sobs filling the ears of an opulent 21st century audience who could do nothing but squirm uneasily in their seats as the prophet's grieved heart was layed bare before them.
It is one thing to read words on a page and know that God is a jealous God, who will repay the unfaithful with perfect and undiluted justice. It is quite another to hear that righteous anger manifested into an audible sound, even if the delivery method is a mere human voice and only a shadow of the wrathful voice to come.
