1:1 The
words
of
Jeremiah
the
son
of
Hilkiah,
of
the
priests
that
were
in
Anathoth
in
the
land
of
Benjamin:
1:2 to
whom
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
in
the
days
of
Josiah
the
son
of
Amon,
king
of
Judah,
in
the
thirteenth
year
of
his
reign.
1:3 It
came
also
in
the
days
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
unto
the
end
of
the
eleventh
year
of
Zedekiah,
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
unto
the
carrying
away
of
Jerusalem
captive
in
the
fifth
month.
1:4 Now
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
unto
me,
saying,
1:5 Before
I
formed
thee
in
the
belly
I
knew
thee,
and
before
thou
camest
forth
out
of
the
womb
I
sanctified
thee;
I
have
appointed
thee
a
prophet
unto
the
nations.
1:6 Then
said
I,
Ah,
Lord
Jehovah!
behold,
I
know
not
how
to
speak;
for
I
am
a
child.
1:7 But
Jehovah
said
unto
me,
Say
not,
I
am
a
child;
for
to
whomsoever
I
shall
send
thee
thou
shalt
go,
and
whatsoever
I
shall
command
thee
thou
shalt
speak.
1:8 Be
not
afraid
because
of
them;
for
I
am
with
thee
to
deliver
thee,
saith
Jehovah.
1:9 Then
Jehovah
put
forth
his
hand,
and
touched
my
mouth;
and
Jehovah
said
unto
me,
Behold,
I
have
put
my
words
in
thy
mouth:
1:10 see,
I
have
this
day
set
thee
over
the
nations
and
over
the
kingdoms,
to
pluck
up
and
to
break
down
and
to
destroy
and
to
overthrow,
to
build
and
to
plant.
1:11 Moreover
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
unto
me,
saying,
Jeremiah,
what
seest
thou
And
I
said,
I
see
a
rod
of
an
almond-tree.
1:12 Then
said
Jehovah
unto
me,
Thou
hast
well
seen:
for
I
watch
over
my
word
to
perform
it.
1:13 And
the
word
of
Jehovah
came
unto
me
the
second
time,
saying,
What
seest
thou
And
I
said,
I
see
a
boiling
caldron;
and
the
face
thereof
is
from
the
north.
1:14 Then
Jehovah
said
unto
me,
Out
of
the
north
evil
shall
break
forth
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
1:15 For,
lo,
I
will
call
all
the
families
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
north,
saith
Jehovah;
and
they
shall
come,
and
they
shall
set
every
one
his
throne
at
the
entrance
of
the
gates
of
Jerusalem,
and
against
all
the
walls
thereof
round
about,
and
against
all
the
cities
of
Judah.
1:16 And
I
will
utter
my
judgments
against
them
touching
all
their
wickedness,
in
that
they
have
forsaken
me,
and
have
burned
incense
unto
other
gods,
and
worshipped
the
works
of
their
own
hands.
1:17 Thou
therefore
gird
up
thy
loins,
and
arise,
and
speak
unto
them
all
that
I
command
thee:
be
not
dismayed
at
them,
lest
I
dismay
thee
before
them.
1:18 For,
behold,
I
have
made
thee
this
day
a
fortified
city,
and
an
iron
pillar,
and
brazen
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.
1:19 And
they
shall
fight
against
thee;
but
they
shall
not
prevail
against
thee:
for
I
am
with
thee,
saith
Jehovah,
to
deliver
thee.
