Jeremiah:1:4-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the word of Jehovah was to me ,
saying ,
*
I knew you before I formed you in the belly ;
and before you came out of the womb ,
I consecrated you .
I appointed you a prophet to the nations .
*
Then I said ,
Ah ,
Lord Jehovah !
Behold ,
I do not know how to speak for I am a boy .
*
But Jehovah said to me ,
Do not say ,
I am a boy ;
for you shall go to all that I shall send you .
And whatever I command you ,
you shall speak .
*
Do not be afraid of their faces ,
for I am with you to deliver you ,
says Jehovah .
*
Then Jehovah put out His hand and touched my mouth .
And Jehovah said to me ,
Behold ,
I have put My words in your mouth .
*
Behold ,
I have today appointed you over the nations and over the kingdoms ,
to root out ,
and to tear down ,
and to destroy ,
and to throw down ,
to build ,
and to plant .
*
And was the word of Jehovah to me ,
saying ,
Jeremiah ,
what do you see ?
And I said ,
I see an almond rod .
*
Then Jehovah said to me ,
You have seen well ;
for I will watch over My word to perform it .
*
And the word of Jehovah came to me the second time ,
saying ,
What do you see ?
And I said ,
I see a boiling pot ;
and its face is from the face of the north .
*
And Jehovah said to me ,
Out of the north evil will be set loose on all the inhabitants of the land .
*
For ,
behold ,
I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north ,
declares Jehovah .
And they shall come ,
and they shall each one set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem ,
and all against its walls all around ,
and against the cities of Judah .
*
And I will pronounce My judgments against them regarding all their evil ,
those who have forsaken Me and have burned incense to other gods ,
and have worshiped the works of their hands .
*
And you must gird up your loins ,
and rise up and speak to them all that I command you .
Do not be terrified before their faces ,
that I not prostrate you before them .
*
For ,
behold ,
today I have made you a fortified city ,
and an iron pillar ,
and bronze walls against the whole land ,
against the kings of Judah ,
against her princes ,
against her priests ,
and to the people of the land .
*
And they shall fight against you ;
but they shall not overcome you .
For I am with you to deliver you ,
declares Jehovah .
