The Call of Jeremiah

4The word of the LORD came to me, saying,H1697H3068H559 5"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."H2962H3335H990H3045H3318H7358H6942H5414H5030H1471 6"Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."H559H162H136H3069H3045H1696H5288 7But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.H3068H559H559H5288H3212H7971H6680H1696 8Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.H3372H6440H5337H5002H3068 9Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth.H3068H7971H3027H5060H6310H3068H559H5414H1697H6310 10See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."H7200H3117H6485H1471H4467H5428H5422H6H2040H1129H5193 11The word of the LORD came to me: "What do you see, Jeremiah?" "I see the branch of an almond tree," I replied.H1697H3068H559H3414H7200H559H7200H4731H8247 12The LORD said to me, "You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled."H559H3068H3190H7200H8245H1697H6213 13The word of the LORD came to me again: "What do you see?" "I see a boiling pot, tilting away from the north," I answered.H1697H3068H8145H559H7200H559H7200H5301H5518H6440H6440H6828 14The LORD said to me, "From the north disaster will be poured out on all who live in the land.H3068H559H6828H7451H6605H3427H776 15I am about to summon all the peoples of the northern kingdoms," declares the LORD. "Their kings will come and set up their thrones in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem; they will come against all her surrounding walls and against all the towns of Judah.H7121H4940H4467H6828H5002H3068H935H5414H376H3678H6607H8179H3389H2346H5439H5892H3063 16I will pronounce my judgments on my people because of their wickedness in forsaking me, in burning incense to other gods and in worshiping what their hands have made.H1696H4941H5921H7451H5800H6999H312H430H7812H4639H3027 17"Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them.H247H4975H6965H1696H6680H2865H6440H2865H6440 18Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land.H589H5414H3117H4013H5892H1270H5982H5178H2346H776H4428H3063H8269H3548H5971H776 19They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.H3898H3201H5002H3068H5337
