The influence of Jeremiah during and after the Exile was considerable in some circles, and three additional books, the [[Book of Baruch]], [[Book of Lamentations|Lamentations]], and the [[Letter of Jeremiah]], were attributed to him in [[Second Temple Judaism]] (Judaism in the period between the building of the Second Temple in about 515 BCE and its destruction in 70 CE); in the Greek [[Septuagint]] they stand between Jeremiah and the [[Book of Ezekiel]], but only Lamentations is included in modern Jewish or Protestant bibles (the Letter of Jeremiah appears in Catholic bibles as the sixth chapter of Baruch).{{sfn|Redditt|2008|pp=132–33}} Jeremiah is mentioned by name in [[Books of Chronicles|Chronicles]] and the [[Book of Ezra]], both dating from the later [[Yehud medinata|Persian period]], and his prophecy that the [[Babylonian exile]] would last 70 years was taken up and reapplied by the author of the [[Book of Daniel]] in the 2nd century BCE.

=== Christianity ===
The understanding of the [[early Christians]] that [[Jesus]] represented a "[[new covenant]]"<ref>see {{bibleverse|1 Corinthians|11:25|KJV}} and {{bibleverse|Hebrews|8:6–13|KJV}}</ref> is based on [[Jeremiah 31:31–34]], in which a future Israel will repent and give God the obedience he demands.{{sfn|Davidson|1993|p=347}} The Gospel's portrayal of Jesus as a persecuted prophet owes a great deal to the account of Jeremiah's sufferings in [[Jeremiah 37|chapters 37]][[Jeremiah 44|–44]], as well as to the "[[Songs of the Suffering Servant]]" in [[Book of Isaiah|Isaiah]].{{sfn|Blenkinsopp|1996|p=134}}
