The Book of
JEREMIAH
CHAPTER 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in
Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: 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. 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.
4 Now the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 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. 6 Then
said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am a
child. 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. 8 Be not afraid because of them; for I am with thee to deliver
thee, saith Jehovah. 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: 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.
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. 12 Then said Jehovah
unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I watch over my word to perform it.
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. 14 Then Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north evil shall break
forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. 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. 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. 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.
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. 19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not
prevail against thee: for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.
Truth is truth Gods word is truth.Lies are lies Deception is the thing God hates most and woe to those who dilibertlay set traps and snares for His dear people.
