1The wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518, of the priestsH3548 that were in AnathothH6068 in the landH776 of BenjaminH1144: 2To whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came in the daysH3117 of JosiahH2977 the sonH1121 of AmonH526 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, in the thirteenthH7969H6240 yearH8141 of his reignH4427. 3It came also in the daysH3117 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, to the endH8552 of the eleventhH6249H6240 yearH8141 of ZedekiahH6667 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, to the carrying awayH1540 of JerusalemH3389 captiveH1540 in the fifthH2549 monthH2320.

4Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559, 5BeforeH2962 I formedH3335 thee in the wombH990 I knewH3045 thee; and before thou wast bornH3318H7358 I sanctifiedH6942 thee, and I ordainedH5414 thee a prophetH5030 to the nationsH1471.1 6Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! behold, I cannotH3045 speakH1696: for I am a childH5288. 7But the LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, SayH559 not, I am a childH5288: for thou shalt goH3212 to all that I shall sendH7971 thee, and whatever I commandH6680 thee thou shalt speakH1696. 8Be not afraidH3372 of their facesH6440: for I am with thee to deliverH5337 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 9Then the LORDH3068 put forthH7971 his handH3027, and touchedH5060 my mouthH6310. And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, Behold, I have putH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310. 10SeeH7200, I have this dayH3117 setH6485 thee over the nationsH1471 and over the kingdomsH4467, to root outH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6, and to throw downH2040, to buildH1129, and to plantH5193.
