Jeremiah 1

Jeremiah's Call and Commission

1

The wordsh1697 of  aJeremiahh3414 the sonh1121 of Hilkiahh2518, of the priestsh3548 whoh834 were in  bAnathothh6068 in the landh776 of Benjaminh1144,

2

to whomh834 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 in the daysh3117 of  aJosiahh2977 the sonh1121 of  bAmonh526, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, in the  cthirteenthh7969h6240 yearh8141 of his reignh4427a.

3

It cameh1961 also in the daysh3117 of  aJehoiakimh3079 the sonh1121 of Josiahh2977, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, untilh5704 the endh8552 of the eleventhh6249h6240 yearh8141 of  bZedekiahh6667 the sonh1121 of Josiahh2977, kingh4428 of Judahh3063, untilh5704 the exileh1540 of Jerusalemh3389 in the fifthh2549 monthh2320.

4

Now the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me sayingh559,

5

"Beforeh2962 I  aformedh3335 you in the wombh990 I knewh3045 you, And  bbeforeh2962 you were bornh3318h7358 I consecratedh6942 you; I have  cappointedh5414 you a propheth5030 to the nationsh1471."

6

Then  aI saidh559, "Alash162, Lordh136  1GODh3068! Beholdh2009, I do not knowh3045 how to speakh1696, Becauseh3588  bI am a youthh5288."

7

But the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "Do not sayh559, `I am a youthh5288,'  aBecauseh3588 everywhereh5921h3605h834 I sendh7971 you, you shall goh1980, And  ballh3605 that I commandh6680 you, you shall speakh1696.

8

aDo not be afraidh3372a of them, For  bI am with you to deliverh5337 you," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

9

Then the LORDh3068 stretchedh7971 out His handh3027 and  atouchedh5060 my mouthh6310, and the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "Beholdh2009, I have  bputh5414 My wordsh1697 in your mouthh6310.

10

"Seeh7200,  aI have appointedh6485 you thish2088 dayh3117 overh5921 the nationsh1471 and overh5921 the kingdomsh4467,  bTo pluckh5428 up and to breakh5422 downh5422, To destroyh6 and to overthrowh2040,  cTo buildh1129 and to planth5193."

The Almond Rod and Boiling Pot

11

The wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me sayingh559, "Whath4100 do you seeh7200,  aJeremiahh3414?" And I saidh559, "I seeh7200 a rodh4731 of an  1almondh8247 treeh8247."

12

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "You have seenh7200 wellh3190, for  aI am  1watchingh8245 overh5921 My wordh1697 to performh6213a it."

13

The wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me a secondh8145 timeh8145 sayingh559, " aWhath4100 do you seeh7200?" And I saidh559, "I seeh7200 a boilingh5301  bpoth5518a, facingh6440 away from the northh6828."

14

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, " aOut of the northh6828 the evilh7463a  1will breakh6605a forthh6605a on allh3605 the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776.

15

"For, beholdh2009, I am callingh7121  aallh3605 the familiesh4940 of the kingdomsh4467 of the northh6828," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068; "and they will comeh935 and they will  bseth5414 eachh376 oneh376 his throneh3678 at the entranceh6607 of the gatesh8179 of Jerusalemh3389, and againsth5921 allh3605 its wallsh2346 roundh5439 abouth5439 and againsth5921 allh3605 the  ccitiesh5892b of Judahh3063.

16

"I will  1pronounceh1696 My judgmentsh4941 on them concerningh5921 allh3605 their wickednessh7463a, wherebyh834 they have  aforsakenh5800a Me and have  2 bofferedh6999 sacrificesh6999 to otherh312 godsh430, and worshipedh7812 the  cworksh4639 of their own handsh3027.

17

"Now,  agirdh247 up your loinsh4975 and ariseh6965, and speakh1696 to them allh3605 whichh834 I commandh6680 you.  bDo not be dismayedh2865 beforeh4480h6440 them, orh6435 I will dismayh2865 you beforeh6440 them.

18

"Now beholdh2009, I have madeh5414 you todayh3117 as a fortifiedh4013 cityh5892b and as a pillarh5982 of ironh1270 and as wallsh2346 of bronzeh5178 againsth5921 the wholeh3605 landh776, to the kingsh4428 of Judahh3063, to its princesh8269, to its priestsh3548 and to the peopleh5971a of the landh776.

19

"They will fighth3898a againsth413 you, but they will not overcomeh3201 you, for  aI am with you to deliverh5337 you," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.
