Question:
What was the age that Jeremiah was called to be a prophet?
Answer:

Jeremiah was called to the prophetic ministry in the thirteenth year of the reign of King Josiah, when he was approximately twenty years of age. He received God’s call at a young age, probably as a teenager. Although the account of his call is brief, Jeremiah was divinely informed that he had been created, sanctified, and ordained to be a prophet.

The Lord’s message came to me: “Before I made you in your mother’s womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I chose you for a special work. I chose you to be a prophet to the nations.” Then I said, “But, Lord God, I don’t know how to speak. I am only a boy.”
