The words
<01697>

<03414>

the son
<01121>

<02518>_,

of the priests
<03548>

that [were] in Anathoth
<06068>

in the land
<0776>

of Benjamin
<01144>_:

1:2

To whom the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came in the days
<03117>

of Josiah
<02977>

the son
<01121>

of Amon
<0526>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

in the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.

It came also in the days
<03117>

of Jehoiakim
<03079>

the son
<01121>

of Josiah
<02977>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

unto the end
<08552> (8800)

of the eleventh
<06249> <06240>

year
<08141>

of Zedekiah
<06667>

the son

of Jerusalem
<03389>

captive
<01540> (8800)

in the fifth
<02549>

month
<02320>_.

1:4

Then the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

1:5

Before
<02962>

I formed
<03335> (8799)

thee in the belly
<0990>

I knew
<03045> (8804)

thee; and before thou camest forth
<03318> (8799)

out of the womb
<07358>

I sanctified
<06942> (8689)

thee, [and] I ordained
<05414> (8804)

thee a prophet
<05030>

unto the nations
<01471>_.

{ordained: Heb. gave}

1:6

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, Ah
<0162>_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

behold, I cannot
<03045> (8804)

speak
<01696> (8763)_:

for I [am] a child
<05288>_.

1:7

But the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Say
<0559> (8799)

not, I [am] a child
<05288>_:

for thou shalt go
<03212> (8799)

to all that I shall send
<07971> (8799)

thee, and whatsoever I command
<06680> (8762)

thee thou shalt speak
<01696> (8762)_.

1:8

Be not afraid
<03372> (8799)

of their faces
<06440>_:

for I [am] with thee to deliver
<05337> (8687)

thee, saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

1:9

Then the LORD
<03068>

put forth
<07971> (8799)

his hand
<03027>_,

and touched
<05060> (8686)

my mouth
<06310>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Behold, I have put
<05414> (8804)

my words
<01697>

in thy mouth
<06310>_.

1:10

See
<07200> (8798)_,

I have this day
<03117>

set
<06485> (8689)

thee over the nations
<01471>

and over the kingdoms
<04467>_,

to root out
<05428> (8800)_,

and to pull down
<05422> (8800)_,

and to destroy
<06> (8687)_,

and to throw down
<02040> (8800)_,

to build
<01129> (8800)_,

and to plant
<05193> (8800)_.

1:11

Moreover the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Jeremiah
<03414>_,

what seest
<07200> (8802)

thou? And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I see
<07200> (8802)

a rod
<04731>

of an almond tree
<08247>_.

1:12

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

unto me, Thou hast well
<03190> (8689)

seen
<07200> (8800)_:

for I will hasten
<08245> (8802)

my word
<01697>

to perform
<06213> (8800)

it.

1:13

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto me the second time
<08145>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What seest
<07200> (8802)

thou? And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

I see
<07200> (8802)

a seething
<05301> (8803)

pot
<05518>_;

and the face
<06440>

thereof [is] toward
<06440>

the north
<06828>_.

{toward...: Heb. from the face of the north}

1:14

Then the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Out of the north
<06828>

an evil
<07451>

shall break forth
<06605> (8735)

upon all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_.

{shall...: Heb. shall be opened}

1:15

For, lo, I will call
<07121> (8802)

all the families
<04940>

of the kingdoms
<04467>

of the north
<06828>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

and they shall come
<0935> (8804)_,

and they shall set
<05414> (8804)

every one
<0376>

his throne
<03678>

at the entering
<06607>

of the gates
<08179>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and against all the walls
<02346>

thereof round about
<05439>_,

and against all the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_.

1:16

And I will utter
<01696> (8765)

my judgments
<04941>

against them touching
<05921>

all their wickedness
<07451>_,

who have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

me, and have burned incense
<06999> (8762)

unto other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)

the works
<04639>

of their own hands
<03027>_.
