Jeremiah 1
1 The time, 3 and the calling of Jeremiah. 11 His prophetical visions of an almond rod and a seething pot. 15 His heavy message against Judah. 17 God encourageth him with his promise of assistance.
1:1
The words 1697 of Jeremiah 3414 the son 1121 of Hilkiah 2518, of the priests 3548 who 834 were in Anathoth 6068 in the land 776 of Benjamin 1144,
1:2
to whom 834 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 in the days 3117 of Josiah 2977 the son 1121 of Amon 526, king 4428 of Judah 3063, in the thirteenth 7969 6240 year 8141 of his reign 4427a.
1:3
It came 1961 also in the days 3117 of Jehoiakim 3079 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977, king 4428 of Judah 3063, until 5704 the end 8552 of the eleventh 6249 6240 year 8141 of Zedekiah 6667 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977, king 4428 of Judah 3063, until 5704 the exile 1540 of Jerusalem 3389 in the fifth 2549 month 2320.
1:4
¶ Now the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559,
1:5
“Before 2962 I formed 3335 you in the womb 990 I knew 3045 you, And before 2962 you were born 3318 7358 I consecrated 6942 you; I have appointed 5414 you a prophet 5030 to the nations 1471.”
1:6
Then I said 559, “Alas 162, Lord 136 GOD 3068! Behold 2009, I do not know 3045 how to speak 1696, Because 3588 I am a youth 5288.”
1:7
But the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, “Do not say 559, ‘I am a youth 5288,’ Because 3588 everywhere 5921 3605 834 I send 7971 you, you shall go 1980, And all 3605 that I command 6680 you, you shall speak 1696.
1:8
“Do not be afraid 3372a of them, For I am with you to deliver 5337 you,” declares 5002 the LORD 3068.
1:9
Then the LORD 3068 stretched 7971 out His hand 3027 and touched 5060 my mouth 6310, and the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, “Behold 2009, I have put 5414 My words 1697 in your mouth 6310.
1:10
“See 7200, I have appointed 6485 you this 2088 day 3117 over 5921 the nations 1471 and over 5921 the kingdoms 4467, To pluck 5428 up and to break 5422 down 5422, To destroy 6 and to overthrow 2040, To build 1129 and to plant 5193.”
1:11
¶ The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me saying 559, “What 4100 do you see 7200, Jeremiah 3414?” And I said 559, “I see 7200 a rod 4731 of an almond 8247 tree 8247.”
1:12
Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, “You have seen 7200 well 3190, for I am watching 8245 over 5921 My word 1697 to perform 6213a it.”
1:13
¶ The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to me a second 8145 time 8145 saying 559, “What 4100 do you see 7200?” And I said 559, “I see 7200 a boiling 5301 pot 5518a, facing 6440 away from the north 6828.”
1:14
Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to me, “Out of the north 6828 the evil 7463a will break 6605a forth 6605a on all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776.
1:15
“For, behold 2009, I am calling 7121 all 3605 the families 4940 of the kingdoms 4467 of the north 6828,” declares 5002 the LORD 3068; “and they will come 935 and they will set 5414 each 376 one 376 his throne 3678 at the entrance 6607 of the gates 8179 of Jerusalem 3389, and against 5921 all 3605 its walls 2346 round 5439 about 5439 and against 5921 all 3605 the cities 5892b of Judah 3063.
1:16
“I will pronounce 1696 My judgments 4941 on them concerning 5921 all 3605 their wickedness 7463a, whereby 834 they have forsaken 5800a Me and have offered 6999 sacrifices 6999 to other 312 gods 430, and worshiped 7812 the works 4639 of their own hands 3027.
1:17
“Now, gird 247 up your loins 4975 and arise 6965, and speak 1696 to them all 3605 which 834 I command 6680 you. Do not be dismayed 2865 before 4480 6440 them, or 6435 I will dismay 2865 you before 6440 them.
1:18
“Now behold 2009, I have made 5414 you today 3117 as a fortified 4013 city 5892b and as a pillar 5982 of iron 1270 and as walls 2346 of bronze 5178 against 5921 the whole 3605 land 776, to the kings 4428 of Judah 3063, to its princes 8269, to its priests 3548 and to the people 5971a of the land 776.
1:19
“They will fight 3898a against 413 you, but they will not overcome 3201 you, for I am with you to deliver 5337 you,” declares 5002 the LORD 3068.
