no, the Bible does not talk of any other age but before Noah and after.

There are places other than the Jeremiah verses. One of them is Peter. Look at the differences he gives:

11Peter 2:5. And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

There he referenced this age but in chapter 3 he tells us of the 1st age.

11Peter 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6.Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7.But the heavens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Our world didn't "perish" during Noah's flood. When God caused the overthrow it ended the first age, as described in Jeremiah 4:

25.I beheld, and lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

At Noah's flood there were men and birds. These were two different events and as Peter states, "for this they are willingly ignorant of."
