1:1 The
words
of
Jeremiah,
the
son
of
Hilkiah,
one
of
the
priests
who
were
in
Anathoth
in
the
land
of
Benjamin,
1:2 to
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.
1:3 It
came
also
in
the
days
of
Jehoiakim
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
and
until
the
end
of
the
eleventh
year
of
Zedekiah,
the
son
of
Josiah,
king
of
Judah,
until
the
captivity
of
Jerusalem
in
the
fifth
month.
1:4 Now
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me,
saying,
1:5 "Before
I
formed
you
in
the
womb
I
knew
you,
and
before
you
were
born
I
consecrated
you;
I
appointed
you
a
prophet
to
the
nations."
1:6 Then
I
said,
"Ah,
Lord
GOD!
Behold,
I
do
not
know
how
to
speak,
for
I
am
only
a
youth."
1:7 But
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"Do
not
say,
'I
am
only
a
youth';
for
to
all
to
whom
I
send
you,
you
shall
go,
and
whatever
I
command
you,
you
shall
speak.
1:8 Do
not
be
afraid
of
them,
for
I
am
with
you
to
deliver
you,
declares
the
LORD."
1:9 Then
the
LORD
put
out
his
hand
and
touched
my
mouth.
And
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"Behold,
I
have
put
my
words
in
your
mouth.
1:10 See,
I
have
set
you
this
day
over
nations
and
over
kingdoms,
to
pluck
up
and
to
break
down,
to
destroy
and
to
overthrow,
to
build
and
to
plant."
1:11 And
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me,
saying,
"Jeremiah,
what
do
you
see"
And
I
said,
"I
see
an
almond
branch."
1:12 Then
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"You
have
seen
well,
for
I
am
watching
over
my
word
to
perform
it."
1:13 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."
1:14 Then
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"Out
of
the
north
disaster
shall
be
let
loose
upon
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
1:15 For
behold,
I
am
calling
all
the
tribes
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
north,
declares
the
LORD,
and
they
shall
come,
and
every
one
shall
set
his
throne
at
the
entrance
of
the
gates
of
Jerusalem,
against
all
its
walls
all
around
and
against
all
the
cities
of
Judah.
1:16 And
I
will
declare
my
judgments
against
them,
for
all
their
evil
in
forsaking
me.
They
have
made
offerings
to
other
gods
and
worshiped
the
works
of
their
own
hands.
1:17 But
you,
dress
yourself
for
work;
arise,
and
say
to
them
everything
that
I
command
you.
Do
not
be
dismayed
by
them,
lest
I
dismay
you
before
them.
1:18 And
I,
behold,
I
make
you
this
day
a
fortified
city,
an
iron
pillar,
and
bronze
walls,
against
the
whole
land,
against
the
kings
of
Judah,
its
officials,
its
priests,
and
the
people
of
the
land.
1:19 They
will
fight
against
you,
but
they
shall
not
prevail
against
you,
for
I
am
with
you,
declares
the
LORD,
to
deliver
you."
