1The wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, of the priestsH3548 that were in AnathothH6068 in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144: 2to whomH834 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the thirteenth yearH8141 of his reignH4427. 3It cameH1961 also in the daysH3117 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063, unto the endH8552 of the eleventhH6240 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063; unto the carrying awayH1540 of JerusalemH3389 captiveH1540 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320. 4NowH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, 5BeforeH2962 I formedH3335 thee in the bellyH990 I knewH3045 thee, and beforeH2962 thou camest forthH3318 outH3318 of the wombH990 I sanctifiedH6942 thee; I have appointedH5414 thee a prophetH5030 unto the nationsH1471. 6Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH136! beholdH2009, I cannotH3808 speakH1696: for I am a childH5288. 7But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, SayH559 notH408, I am a childH5288: for to whomsoever I shall sendH7971 thee thou shalt goH7971, and whatsoeverH3605 I shall commandH6680 thee thou shalt speakH1696. 8Be notH408 afraidH3372 becauseH3588 of them: for I am with thee to deliverH5337 thee, saith the LORDH3068. 9Then the LORDH3068 putH5414 forthH7971 his handH3027, and touchedH5060 my mouthH6310; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, BeholdH2009, I have putH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310: 10seeH7200, I have this dayH3117 setH1129 thee over the nationsH1471 and over the kingdomsH4467, to pluckH5428 upH7200 and to breakH2040 downH5422, and to destroyH6 and to overthrowH2040; to buildH1129, and to plantH5193. 11MoreoverH1961 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413, sayingH559, JeremiahH3414, whatH4100 seest thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a rodH4731 of an almondH8247 treeH8247. 12Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto meH413, Thou hast wellH3190 seenH7200: for I watchH7200 over my wordH1697 to performH6213 it. 13And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto meH413 the secondH8145 time, sayingH559, WhatH4100 seest thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a seething caldron; and the faceH6440 thereof is from the northH6828. 14Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, OutH5921 of the northH6828 evilH7451 shall break forth uponH5921 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. 15For, loH2005, I will callH7121 allH3605 the familiesH4940 of the kingdomsH4467 of the northH6828, saith the LORDH3068; and they shall comeH935, and they shall setH5414 everyH3605 one his throneH3678 at the enteringH935 of the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389, and againstH5921 allH3605 the wallsH2346 thereof roundH5439 aboutH5439, and againstH5921 allH3605 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. 16And I will utterH1696 my judgmentsH4941 againstH5921 them touching allH3605 their wickednessH7451; in that they have forsaken meH5921, and have burnedH6999 incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, and worshipped the worksH4639 of their own handsH3027. 17Thou therefore girdH247 upH6965 thy loinsH4975, and ariseH6965, and speakH1696 unto them allH3605 that I commandH6680 thee: be notH408 dismayedH2865 at them, lestH6435 I dismayH2865 thee beforeH6440 them. 18For, beholdH2009, I have madeH5414 thee this dayH3117 a defenced cityH5892, and an ironH1270 pillarH5982, and brasen wallsH2346, againstH5921 the wholeH3605 landH776, againstH5921 the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063, againstH5921 the princesH8269 thereof, againstH5921 the priestsH3548 thereof, and againstH5921 the peopleH5971 of the landH776. 19And they shall fightH3898 againstH413 thee; but they shall notH3808 prevailH3201 againstH413 thee: for I am with thee, saith the LORDH3068, to deliverH5337 thee.
