The words
of Jeremiah
the son
of Hilkiah,
of the priests
that were in Anathoth
in the land
of Benjamin:
To whom the word
of the LORD
came in the days
of Josiah
the son
of Amon
king
of Judah,
in the thirteenth
year
of his reign.
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.

Then the word
of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
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.
Then said
I, Ah,
Lord
GOD!
behold, I cannot
speak:
for I am a child.
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.
say
Be not afraid
of their faces:
for I am with thee to deliver
thee, saith
the LORD.
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.
say
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.
Moreover the word
of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
Jeremiah,
what seest
thou? And I said,
I see
a rod
of an almond tree.
Then said
the LORD
unto me, Thou hast well
seen:
for I will hasten
my word
to perform
it.
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.

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 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 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.
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.
say
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 shall fight
against thee; but they shall not prevail
against thee; for I am with thee, saith
the LORD,
to deliver
thee.
