1:1 The
wordes
of
Ieremiah
the
sonne
of
Hilkiah,
of
the
Priests
that
were
in
Anathoth
in
the
land
of
Beniamin:
1:2 To
whom
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
in
the
dayes
of
Iosiah
the
sonne
of
Amon
king
of
Iudah,
in
the
thirteenth
yeere
of
his
reigne.
1:3 It
came
also
in
the
dayes
of
Iehoiakim
the
sonne
of
Iosiah
king
of
Iudah,
vnto
the
ende
of
the
eleuenth
yeere
of
Zedekiah
the
sonne
of
Iosiah
king
of
Iudah,
vnto
the
carrying
away
of
Ierusalem
captiue
in
the
fift
moneth.
1:4 Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
me,
saying,
1:5 Before
I
formed
thee
in
the
bellie,
I
knew
thee;
and
before
thou
camest
forth
out
of
the
wombe,
I
sanctified
thee,
and
I
ordeined
thee
a
Prophet
vnto
the
nations.
1:6 Then
said
I,
Ah
Lord
God,
behold,
I
cannot
speake,
for
I
am
a
childe.
1:7 But
the
Lord
sayd
vnto
me,
Say
not,
I
am
a
childe:
for
thou
shalt
goe
to
all
that
I
shall
send
thee,
and
whatsoeuer
I
command
thee,
thou
shalt
speake.
1:8 Be
not
afraid
of
their
faces:
for
I
am
with
thee
to
deliuer
thee,
sayth
the
Lord.
1:9 Then
the
Lord
put
foorth
his
hand,
and
touched
my
mouth,
and
the
Lord
said
vnto
me,
Behold,
I
haue
put
my
words
in
thy
mouth.
1:10 See,
I
haue
this
day
set
thee
ouer
the
nations,
and
ouer
the
kingdomes,
to
roote
out,
and
to
pull
downe,
and
to
destroy,
and
to
throw
down,
to
build
and
to
plant.
1:11 Moreouer,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
me,
saying;
Ieremiah,
what
seest
thou
And
I
said,
I
see
a
rodde
of
an
almond
tree.
1:12 Then
said
the
Lord
vnto
me,
Thou
hast
well
seene:
for
I
will
hasten
my
word
to
performe
it.
1:13 And
the
worde
of
the
Lord
came
vnto
mee
the
second
time,
saying;
What
seest
thou
And
I
said;
I
see
a
seething
pot,
and
the
face
thereof
was
towards
the
North.
1:14 Then
the
Lord
said
vnto
me;
Out
of
the
North
an
euill
shal
breake
foorth
vpon
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land.
1:15 For
loe,
I
will
call
all
the
families
of
the
kingdoms
of
the
North,
saith
the
Lord,
and
they
shall
come,
and
they
shall
set
euery
one
his
throne
at
the
entring
of
the
gates
of
Ierusalem,
and
against
all
the
walles
thereof
round
about,
&
against
all
the
cities
of
Iudah.
1:16 And
I
will
vtter
my
iudgements
against
them
touching
all
their
wickednesse,
who
haue
forsaken
me,
and
haue
burnt
incense
vnto
other
gods,
and
worshipped
the
workes
of
their
owne
hands.
1:17 Thou
therefore
gird
vp
thy
loynes,
and
arise
and
speake
vnto
them
all
that
I
commaund
thee:
be
not
dismayed
at
their
faces,
lest
I
confound
thee
before
them.
1:18 For
behold,
I
haue
made
thee
this
day
a
defenced
citie,
and
an
yron
pillar,
and
brasen
walles
against
the
whole
land,
against
the
kings
of
Iudah,
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
preuaile
against
thee:
for
I
am
with
thee,
sayth
the
Lord,
to
deliuer
thee.
