These
are
the
words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one
of the priests in Anathoth in the territory
of Benjamin .
Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who
`are'
in Anathoth ,
in the land
of Benjamin ,
The word of the
LORD
came
to
Jeremiah
in the thirteenth
year
of
the
reign
of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah,
unto
whom
the word of Jehovah
hath
been
in the days
of Josiah son of Amon ,
king of Judah, in
the
thirteenth
year
of
his
reign,
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
.
and it
is
in
the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah ,
king of Judah, till
the completion
of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah ,
king of Judah, till
the removal
of Jerusalem in
the
fifth
month
.
The
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying :
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying ,
“
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. ”
`
Before I form
thee
in the belly
, I
have
known
thee;
and before thou
comest
forth
from
the
womb
I have
separated
thee,
a prophet to nations I
have
made
thee
. '
“
Ah, Lord GOD,”
I
said
, “
I surely
do
not know
how
to speak, for I am only
a child!”
And
I
say,
`
Ah, Lord Jehovah!
lo
, I have
not known
--
to speak, for I `
am '
a youth.'
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
.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
me ,
`
Do not say, I `
am '
a youth,
for to all
to
whom
I send thee
thou
goest
, and all that I command thee
thou
speakest
.
Do
not
be afraid of them
, for I
am
with you
to deliver you
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
Be not
afraid of their
faces
, for with thee
`am'
I
to deliver thee
, --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
Then
the
LORD
reached
out
His hand, touched
my mouth, and said
to
me :
“Behold
, I have put My words in your
mouth.
And
Jehovah
putteth
forth
His hand, and
striketh
against
my mouth, and Jehovah
saith
unto
me, `Lo,
I have put my words in thy
mouth.
See, I have appointed
you
today
over
nations and kingdoms to uproot
and tear
down, to destroy and overthrow
, to build and plant. ”
See, I have charged
thee
this
day
concerning
the
nations ,
and concerning
the
kingdoms ,
to pluck
up,
and to
break
down, and
to destroy ,
and to
throw
down
, to build ,
and to
plant. '
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
.
And there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying
, `
What art
thou
seeing,
Jeremiah
? '
And
I say,
`
A rod
of an almond tree I am
seeing
. '
“You
have
observed
correctly,”
said
the
LORD
, “
for I am watching over My word to accomplish
it. ”
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
me
, `Thou
hast
well
seen:
for I am watching over My word to do
it. '
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. ”
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me a
second
time
, saying
, `
What art
thou
seeing
? '
And
I say,
`
A blown
pot I am
seeing
, and its
face
`
is '
from the north. '
Then
the
LORD
said
to
me, “Disaster
from the north will
be
poured
out
on
all who
live
in
the land.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
me, `
From the north is
the
evil
loosed
against
all inhabitants
of
the land.
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.
For ,
lo,
I am calling
for
all families
of
the kingdoms of the north, --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
and
they
have
come ,
and put
each
his
throne
at the opening
of the gates of Jerusalem ,
and
by
its
walls round
about,
and by
all cities of Judah.
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.
And
I have
spoken
My judgments with
them concerning
all their evil
, in
that
they have forsaken Me ,
and
make
perfume
to other gods ,
and bow
themselves
to the works of their own hands.
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.
`And
thou,
thou
dost
gird
up thy
loins,
and hast
arisen,
and
spoken
unto
them all
that I command thee:
be not
affrighted
because
of
them, lest
I affright
thee
before them.
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
I
, lo,
I have given
thee
this
day
for
a fenced
city, and
for
an iron pillar, and for
brazen
walls over
all
the land ,
to
the kings of Judah, to
its heads
, to
its priests, and to
the people of the land ;
They will
fight
against you
but
will
never
overcome
you
, since
I
am
with you
to deliver you,”
declares
the
LORD
.
and
they have
fought
against thee
, and
they
prevail
not
against
thee;
for
with thee
`am'
I,
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
to deliver thee
.
