The words of Jeremiah the
son of Hilkiah, of the priests that
were
in Anathoth in the land
of Benjamin :
These
are
the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one
of the priests in Anathoth in the territory
of Benjamin .
to
whom
the word of Jehovah
came in the days
of Josiah
the son of Amon ,
king of Judah, in
the
thirteenth
year
of
his
reign.
The word of the
LORD
came to
Jeremiah
in the thirteenth
year
of the reign
of
Josiah
son of Amon king of Judah,
It
came
also
in
the days of Jehoiakim the
son of Josiah ,
king of Judah, unto
the end
of the eleventh year of Zedekiah ,
the
son of Josiah ,
king of Judah, unto
the carrying
away
of Jerusalem captive
in
the
fifth
month
.
and
through
the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, until
the fifth
month
of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, when
the people
of Jerusalem went
into
exile
.
Now
the word of Jehovah
came unto
me, saying ,
The word of the
LORD
came to
me, saying :
Before I formed thee
in the belly
I knew thee
, and before thou
camest
forth
out
of
the
womb
I
sanctified
thee;
I have
appointed thee
a prophet unto
the nations.
“
Before I formed you
in the womb
I knew you
, and before you
were
born
I set
you
apart
and
appointed you
as
a prophet to
the nations. ”
Then
said
I,
Ah, Lord Jehovah!
behold
, I know
not how to speak ;
for I am a child .
“
Ah, Lord GOD
, ”
I said,
“I
surely
do
not know
how to speak ,
for I am only
a child !”
But Jehovah
said
unto
me ,
Say
not, I am a child ;
for to whomsoever
I shall
send thee
thou
shalt
go, and whatsoever
I shall
command thee
thou
shalt
speak.
But the
LORD
told
me :
“Do
not say
, ‘
I am only
a child .’
For to everyone
I send you,
you
must
go, and all
that
I command you,
you
must
speak.
Be
not afraid because
of them ;
for I am with thee
to deliver thee
, saith
Jehovah
.
Do
not be
afraid of them ,
for I am with you
to deliver you
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
Then Jehovah
put
forth
his hand, and
touched my mouth ;
and Jehovah
said unto
me ,
Behold, I have put my words in thy
mouth :
Then the
LORD
reached
out
His hand, touched my mouth ,
and said to
me :
“
Behold, I have put My words in your
mouth .
see, I have this
day
set
thee
over the
nations and over
the
kingdoms ,
to pluck
up
and to
break
down and
to destroy and to
overthrow, to build and to
plant.
See, I have appointed
you
today
over nations and kingdoms to uproot
and tear
down ,
to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant. ”
Moreover
the word of Jehovah
came unto
me, saying
, Jeremiah, what seest
thou
? And
I
said,
I see a rod
of an almond -
tree.
And
the word of the
LORD
came to
me, asking
, “
Jeremiah, what do
you
see
? ”
“
I see a branch
of an almond tree ,”
I
replied
.
Then
said Jehovah
unto
me
, Thou
hast
well
seen:
for I watch
over my word to perform
it.
“You
have
observed
correctly,”
said the
LORD
, “
for I am
watching
over My word to accomplish
it. ”
And
the word of Jehovah
came unto
me the
second
time
, saying
, What seest
thou
? And
I
said,
I see a boiling caldron;
and the
face
thereof
is from the north.
Again
the word of the
LORD
came to
me, asking
, “
What do
you
see
? ”
“
I see a boiling pot,”
I
replied,
“
and it
is tilting
toward
us
from the north. ”
Then Jehovah
said unto
me, Out
of
the north evil
shall
break
forth
upon
all the
inhabitants
of
the land.
Then the
LORD
said to
me, “Disaster
from
the north will
be
poured
out
on
all who
live
in
the land.
For ,
lo,
I will
call
all the families
of
the
kingdoms of the north, saith
Jehovah;
and
they
shall
come ,
and they
shall
set every
one
his
throne
at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem ,
and
against
all the
walls thereof
round
about,
and against
all the cities of Judah.
For I am
about
to
summon
all the clans
and
kingdoms of the north, ”
declares
the
LORD.
“Their
kings
will
come and set up
their
thrones
at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem .
They
will
attack
all her
surrounding
walls and all the other
cities of Judah.
And
I will utter
my judgments against them touching
all their wickedness, in
that
they have forsaken me ,
and
have
burned
incense unto
other gods ,
and worshipped
the works of their own hands.
I will pronounce
My judgments against them for
all their wickedness, because
they have forsaken Me to
burn
incense to
other gods and to
worship
the works of their own hands.
Thou
therefore
gird
up thy
loins,
and arise,
and
speak
unto
them all
that I command thee:
be
not dismayed
at
them, lest
I dismay
thee
before them.
Get
yourself
ready.
Stand
up and tell
them everything
that I command you.
Do
not be
intimidated
by
them, or
I will
terrify
you
before them.
For,
behold, I have made thee
this
day
a fortified city, and
an iron pillar, and brazen
walls ,
against the whole land ,
against the kings of Judah, against
the
princes
thereof
, against
the
priests thereof
, and against
the people of the land.
Now
behold, this
day
I have made you
like
a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze
walls against the whole land —
against the kings of Judah, its
officials
, its
priests, and the people of the land.
And
they shall
fight against thee;
but they
shall
not
prevail
against
thee:
for
I am with thee,
saith
Jehovah,
to deliver thee
.
They will
fight against you
but will
never
overcome
you,
since
I am with you
to deliver you,”
declares
the
LORD
.
