Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 001

 

001:001The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that
were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

 

001:002To 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.

 

001:003It 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.

 

001:004Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

 

001:005Before 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.

 

001:006Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a
child.

 

001:007But 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.

 

001:008Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver
thee, saith the LORD.

 

001:009Then 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.

 

001:010See, 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.

 

001:011Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah,
what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

 

001:012Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will
hasten my word to perform it.

 

001:013And 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.

 

001:014Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall
break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

 

001:015For, 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.

 

001:016And 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.

 

001:017Thou 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.

 

001:018For, 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.

 

001:019And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail
against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver
thee.
