The word of the

And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying ,
The
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying :
`
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
. '
“
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. ”
And
I
say,
`
Ah, Lord Jehovah!
lo
, I have
not known
--
to speak, for I `
am '
a youth.'
“
Ah, Lord GOD
, ”
I said,
“I
surely
do
not know
how
to speak, for I am only
a child!”
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
.
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 of their
faces
, for with
thee
`am'
I to deliver thee
, --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
Do
not be
afraid of them
, for I am
with
you
to deliver you
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
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.
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 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. '
See, I have appointed
you
today
over
nations and kingdoms to uproot
and tear
down, to destroy and overthrow
, to build and plant. ”
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
. '
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
Jehovah
saith
unto
me
, `Thou
hast
well
seen:
for I am watching over My word to do
it. '
“You
have
observed
correctly
, ”
said
the
LORD,
“
for I am watching over My word to accomplish
it. ”
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. '
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
Jehovah
saith
unto
me, `
From the north is
the
evil
loosed
against
all 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 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.
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 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.
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
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.
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
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 ;
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 have
fought
against thee
, and
they
prevail
not
against
thee;
for
with
thee
`am'
I ,
--
an
affirmation
of
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
.
