The Prophet Is Called

4Then the 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 sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."H2962H3335H990H3045H3318H7358H6942H5414H5030H1471 6Then said I: "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth."H559H162H136H3069H3045H1696H5288 7But the LORD said to me: "Do not say, 'I am a youth,' For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak.H3068H559H559H5288H3212H7971H6680H1696 8Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you," says the LORD.H3372H6440H5337H5002H3068 9Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.H3068H7971H3027H5060H6310H3068H559H5414H1697H6310 10See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant."H7200H3117H6485H1471H4467H5428H5422H6H2040H1129H5193 11Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" And I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree."H1697H3068H559H3414H7200H559H7200H4731H8247 12Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word."H559H3068H3190H7200H8245H1697H6213 13And the word of the LORD came to me the second time, saying, "What do you see?" And I said, "I see a boiling pot, and it is facing away from the north."H1697H3068H8145H559H7200H559H7200H5301H5518H6440H6440H6828 14Then the LORD said to me: "Out of the north calamity shall break forth On all the inhabitants of the land.H3068H559H6828H7451H6605H3427H776 15For behold, I am calling All the families of the kingdoms of the north," says the LORD; "They shall come and each one set his throne At the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, Against all its walls all around, And against all the cities of Judah.H7121H4940H4467H6828H5002H3068H935H5414H376H3678H6607H8179H3389H2346H5439H5892H3063 16I will utter My judgments Against them concerning all their wickedness, Because they have forsaken Me, Burned incense to other gods, And worshiped the works of their own hands.H1696H4941H5921H7451H5800H6999H312H430H7812H4639H3027 17"Therefore prepare yourself and arise, And speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, Lest I dismay you before them.H247H4975H6965H1696H6680H2865H6440H2865H6440 18For behold, I have made you this day A fortified city and an iron pillar, And bronze walls against the whole land—Against the kings of Judah, Against its princes, Against its priests, And against the people of the land.H589H5414H3117H4013H5892H1270H5982H5178H2346H776H4428H3063H8269H3548H5971H776 19They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you," says the LORD, "to deliver you."H3898H3201H5002H3068H5337
