The words of Jeremiah

¹The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin, ²to whom the word of the LORD came during the reign of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of Josiah’s reign, ³and it came during the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, the year Jerusalem went into exile, in the fifth month.

Jeremiah is called to be a prophet

⁴The word of the LORD came to me: ⁵“I knew you before I shaped you in the womb; \q I set you apart before you came out of the womb; \q I have given you to the nations as a prophet.” ⁶I said, “Oh, Lord GOD! I do not know how to speak; I am a mere youth.”

⁷But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a mere youth.’ To all the people I send you to, you will go; every word I command you, you will speak. ⁸Have no fear of them, for I am with you to rescue you, declares the LORD.” ⁹The LORD then stretched out his hand and laid it on my mouth, and the LORD said to me, “There: I have placed my words in your mouth. ¹⁰See, on this day I have set you over nations and over kingdoms, \q to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and overthrow, \q to build and plant.”

An almond rod and a boiling pot

¹¹The word of the LORD came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “I see a rod cut from an almond tree.” ¹²The LORD said to me, “You have seen rightly, for I am keeping watch over my word until I carry it out.”

¹³The word of the LORD came to me a second time: “What do you see?” I said, “I see a pot fanned to a boil, its mouth tilted from the north toward the south.” ¹⁴Then the LORD said to me, “From the north, disaster will burst out upon everyone who lives in the land. ¹⁵For I am about to summon all the clans of the northern kingdoms, declares the LORD. \q They will come, and each of them will set up his throne at the entrance of Jerusalem’s gates, against all its surrounding walls, \q and against all the towns of Judah. ¹⁶I will pronounce my sentence on them for all their wickedness, \q because they have abandoned me, burned offerings to other gods, and bowed down to what their own hands have made. ¹⁷As for you, tuck your robe into your belt, get up, and tell them everything I command you. \q Do not be shattered by them, or I will shatter you in front of them. ¹⁸And I, for my part, have made you today a walled city, a pillar of iron, and walls of bronze, set against the whole land: \q against Judah’s kings and officials, its priests, and the people of the land. ¹⁹They will make war on you, but they will not overcome you, \q for I am with you, declares the LORD, to rescue you.”
