Jeremiah’s Call and Commission

1The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin,H1697H3414H1121H2518H3548H6068H776H1144 2to 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.H1697H3068H3117H2977H1121H526H4428H3063H7969H6240H8141H4427 3It came also in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.H3117H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H8552H6249H6240H8141H6667H1121H2977H4428H3063H1540H3389H1540H2549H2320 4Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,H1697H3068H559 5"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."H2962H3335H990H3045H3318H7358H6942H5414H5030H1471 6Then I said, "Alas, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth."H559H162H136H3069H3045H1696H5288 7But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a youth,' Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak.H3068H559H559H5288H3212H7971H6680H1696 8"Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD.H3372H6440H5337H5002H3068 9Then the LORD stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me, "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.H3068H7971H3027H5060H6310H3068H559H5414H1697H6310 10"See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, To pluck up and to break down, To destroy and to overthrow, To build and to plant."H7200H3117H6485H1471H4467H5428H5422H6H2040H1129H5193

The Almond Rod and Boiling Pot

11And the word of the LORD came to me saying, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" And I said, "I see a rod of an almond tree."H1697H3068H559H3414H7200H559H7200H4731H8247 12Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it."H559H3068H3190H7200H8245H1697H6213 13And the word of the LORD came to me a second time saying, "What do you see?" And I said, "I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north."H1697H3068H8145H559H7200H559H7200H5301H5518H6440H6440H6828 14Then the LORD said to me, "Out of the north the evil will break forth on all the inhabitants of the land.H3068H559H6828H7451H6605H3427H776 15"For, behold, I am calling all the families of the kingdoms of the north," declares the LORD; "and they will come, and they will set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls round about, and against all the cities of Judah.H7121H4940H4467H6828H5002H3068H935H5414H376H3678H6607H8179H3389H2346H5439H5892H3063 16"And I will pronounce My judgments on them concerning all their wickedness, whereby they have forsaken Me and have offered sacrifices to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.H1696H4941H5921H7451H5800H6999H312H430H7812H4639H3027 17"Now, gird up your loins, and arise, and speak to them all which I command you. Do not be dismayed before them, lest I dismay you before them.H247H4975H6965H1696H6680H2865H6440H2865H6440 18"Now behold, I have made you today as a fortified city, and as a pillar of iron and as walls of bronze against the whole land, to the kings of Judah, to its princes, to its priests and to the people of the land.H589H5414H3117H4013H5892H1270H5982H5178H2346H776H4428H3063H8269H3548H5971H776 19"And they will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you," declares the LORD.H3898H3201H5002H3068H5337
