1This book is the account of what was said by Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests of the town of Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin.H1697H3414H1121H2518H3548H6068H776H1144 2The LORD spoke to Jeremiah in the thirteenth year that Josiah son of Amon was king of Judah,H1697H3068H3117H2977H1121H526H4428H3063H7969H6240H8141H4427 3and he spoke to him again when Josiah's son Jehoiakim was king. After that, the LORD spoke to him many times, until the eleventh year of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah. In the fifth month of that year the people of Jerusalem were taken into exile.H3117H3079H1121H2977H4428H3063H8552H6249H6240H8141H6667H1121H2977H4428H3063H1540H3389H1540H2549H2320

The Call of Jeremiah

4The LORD said to me,H1697H3068H559 5"I chose you before I gave you life, and before you were born I selected you to be a prophet to the nations."H2962H3335H990H3045H3318H7358H6942H5414H5030H1471 6I answered, "Sovereign LORD, I don't know how to speak; I am too young."H559H162H136H3069H3045H1696H5288 7But the LORD said to me, "Do not say that you are too young, but go to the people I send you to, and tell them everything I command you to say.H3068H559H559H5288H3212H7971H6680H1696 8Do not be afraid of them, for I will be with you to protect you. I, the LORD, have spoken!"H3372H6440H5337H5002H3068 9Then the LORD reached out, touched my lips, and said to me, "Listen, I am giving you the words you must speak.H3068H7971H3027H5060H6310H3068H559H5414H1697H6310 10Today I give you authority over nations and kingdoms to uproot and to pull down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."H7200H3117H6485H1471H4467H5428H5422H6H2040H1129H5193

Two Visions

11The LORD asked me, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I answered, "A branch of an almond tree."H1697H3068H559H3414H7200H559H7200H4731H8247 12"You are right," the LORD said, "and I am watching to see that my words come true."H559H3068H3190H7200H8245H1697H6213 13Then the LORD spoke to me again. "What else do you see?" he asked. I answered, "I see a pot boiling in the north, and it is about to tip over this way."H1697H3068H8145H559H7200H559H7200H5301H5518H6440H6440H6828 14He said to me, "Destruction will boil over from the north on all who live in this land,H3068H559H6828H7451H6605H3427H776 15because I am calling all the nations in the north to come. Their kings will set up their thrones at the gates of Jerusalem and around its walls and also around the other cities of Judah.H7121H4940H4467H6828H5002H3068H935H5414H376H3678H6607H8179H3389H2346H5439H5892H3063 16I will punish my people because they have sinned; they have abandoned me, have offered sacrifices to other gods, and have made idols and worshiped them.H1696H4941H5921H7451H5800H6999H312H430H7812H4639H3027 17Get ready, Jeremiah; go and tell them everything I command you to say. Do not be afraid of them now, or I will make you even more afraid when you are with them.H247H4975H6965H1696H6680H2865H6440H2865H6440 18Listen, Jeremiah! Everyone in this land - the kings of Judah, the officials, the priests, and the people - will be against you. But today I am giving you the strength to resist them; you will be like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall.H589H5414H3117H4013H5892H1270H5982H5178H2346H776H4428H3063H8269H3548H5971H776 19They will not defeat you, for I will be with you to protect you. I, the LORD, have spoken."H3898H3201H5002H3068H5337
