The Prophet Is Called

4Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,H1697H3068H559 5Before 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.H2962H3335H990H3045H3318H7358H6942H5414H5030H1471 6Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.H559H162H136H3069H3045H1696H5288 7But 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.H3068H559H559H5288H3212H7971H6680H1696 8Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.H3372H6440H5337H5002H3068 9Then 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.H3068H7971H3027H5060H6310H3068H559H5414H1697H6310 10See, 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.H7200H3117H6485H1471H4467H5428H5422H6H2040H1129H5193 11Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.H1697H3068H559H3414H7200H559H7200H4731H8247 12Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.H559H3068H3190H7200H8245H1697H6213 13And 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.H1697H3068H8145H559H7200H559H7200H5301H5518H6440H6440H6828 14Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.H3068H559H6828H7451H6605H3427H776 15For, 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.H7121H4940H4467H6828H5002H3068H935H5414H376H3678H6607H8179H3389H2346H5439H5892H3063 16And 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.H1696H4941H5921H7451H5800H6999H312H430H7812H4639H3027 17Thou 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.H247H4975H6965H1696H6680H2865H6440H2865H6440 18For, 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.H589H5414H3117H4013H5892H1270H5982H5178H2346H776H4428H3063H8269H3548H5971H776 19And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.H3898H3201H5002H3068H5337
