And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
Then
the
word of the
LORD
came
unto 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
thee in the belly I knew
thee; and before thou camest
forth out
of
the womb I sanctified
thee, and
I
ordained
thee
a prophet unto
the
nations.
And
I say
, `
Ah, Lord Jehovah
! lo
, I have
not
known
--
to
speak ,
for I `
am '
a youth
. '
Then
said
I, Ah, Lord GOD
! behold
, I cannot
speak :
for I am 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
said
unto me, Say not
, I am a child:
for thou
shalt
go
to all that
I shall
send thee, and whatsoever
I command thee thou shalt
speak
.
Be not afraid of their faces ,
for with thee `am'
I
to deliver thee, --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
Be not afraid of their faces :
for I
am
with thee to deliver thee, saith
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
put
forth his hand, and touched
my mouth .
And the
LORD
said
unto me, Behold
, I have put my words in thy 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 this day set
thee
over
the nations and over
the kingdoms, to root
out
, and to pull
down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to 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
. '
Moreover
the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying, Jeremiah,
what seest
thou? And I said

And
Jehovah
saith
unto me, `
Thou hast well seen: for I am
watching
over
My word to do
it. '

said
the
LORD
unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will
hasten
my word to perform
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. '
And the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me the
second time, saying, What seest
thou? And I said
, I
see
a seething
pot ;
and the
face thereof
is toward
the north.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto me, `From
the north is
the
evil loosed
against
all inhabitants of the land.
Then
the
LORD
said
unto me, Out
of
the north an
evil shall
break
forth
upon
all the
inhabitants of 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, lo, I will
call
all the
families of the kingdoms of the north, saith
the
LORD;
and they shall
come, and they
shall
set
every
one
his throne at the entering
of the gates of Jerusalem, and against
all
the
walls thereof
round about, and against
all the
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.
And I will
utter
my judgments against
them touching
all their wickedness
, who
have forsaken me, and have
burned
incense
unto
other gods, and worshipped
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.
Thou therefore
gird up thy loins, and arise
, and speak
unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed
at
their
faces
, lest I confound
thee 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 ;
For
, behold
, I have made
thee this day a defenced
city, and an iron pillar, and brasen
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 .
and they have
fought
against thee ,
and
they prevail
not against thee; for with thee `am'
I
, --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
--
to deliver thee.
And they shall
fight
against thee ;
but
they shall
not prevail
against thee; for I
am
with thee, saith
the
LORD,
to deliver thee.
