Jeremiah 1 (kjv)

The words^H1697 of Jeremiah^H3414 the son^H1121 of Hilkiah^H2518, of the priests^H3548 that were in Anathoth^H6068 in the land^H776 of Benjamin^H1144:²To whom the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came in the days^H3117 of Josiah^H2977 the son^H1121 of Amon^H526 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, in the thirteenth^{H7969 H6240} year^H8141 of his reign^H4427.³It came also in the days^H3117 of Jehoiakim^H3079 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, unto the end^H8552 of the eleventh^{H6249 H6240} year^H8141 of Zedekiah^H6667 the son^H1121 of Josiah^H2977 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, unto the carrying away^H1540 of Jerusalem^H3389 captive^H1540 in the fifth^H2549 month^H2320.

⁴Then the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,⁵Before^H2962 I formed^H3335 thee in the belly^H990 I knew^H3045 thee; and before thou camest forth^H3318 out of the womb^H7358 I sanctified^H6942 thee, and I ordained^H5414 thee a prophet^H5030 unto the nations^H1471.⁶Then said^H559 I, Ah^H162, Lord^H136 GOD^H3069! behold, I cannot^H3045 speak^H1696: for I am a child^H5288.⁷But the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Say^H559 not, I am a child^H5288: for thou shalt go^H3212 to all that I shall send^H7971 thee, and whatsoever I command^H6680 thee thou shalt speak^H1696.⁸Be not afraid^H3372 of their faces^H6440: for I am with thee to deliver^H5337 thee, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.⁹Then the LORD^H3068 put forth^H7971 his hand^H3027, and touched^H5060 my mouth^H6310. And the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Behold, I have put^H5414 my words^H1697 in thy mouth^H6310.¹⁰See^H7200, I have this day^H3117 set^H6485 thee over the nations^H1471 and over the kingdoms^H4467, to root out^H5428, and to pull down^H5422, and to destroy^H6, and to throw down^H2040, to build^H1129, and to plant^H5193.

¹¹Moreover the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559, Jeremiah^H3414, what seest^H7200 thou? And I said^H559, I see^H7200 a rod^H4731 of an almond tree^H8247.¹²Then said^H559 the LORD^H3068 unto me, Thou hast well^H3190 seen^H7200: for I will hasten^H8245 my word^H1697 to perform^H6213 it.¹³And the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me the second time^H8145, saying^H559, What seest^H7200 thou? And I said^H559, I see^H7200 a seething^H5301 pot^H5518; and the face^H6440 thereof is toward^H6440 the north^H6828.¹⁴Then the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Out of the north^H6828 an evil^H7451 shall break forth^H6605 upon all the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776.

¹⁵For, lo, I will call^H7121 all the families^H4940 of the kingdoms^H4467 of the north^H6828, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and they shall come^H935, and they shall set^H5414 every one^H376 his throne^H3678 at the entering^H6607 of the gates^H8179 of Jerusalem^H3389, and against all the walls^H2346 thereof round about^H5439, and against all the cities^H5892 of Judah^H3063.¹⁶And I will utter^H1696 my judgments^H4941 against them touching^H5921 all their wickedness^H7451, who have forsaken^H5800 me, and have burned incense^H6999 unto other^H312 gods^H430, and worshipped^H7812 the works^H4639 of their own hands^H3027.

¹⁷Thou therefore gird up^H247 thy loins^H4975, and arise^H6965, and speak^H1696 unto them all that I command^H6680 thee: be not dismayed^H2865 at their faces^H6440, lest I confound^H2865 thee before^H6440 them.¹⁸For, behold, I^H589 have made^H5414 thee this day^H3117 a defenced^H4013 city^H5892, and an iron^H1270 pillar^H5982, and brasen^H5178 walls^H2346 against the whole land^H776, against the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063, against the princes^H8269 thereof, against the priests^H3548 thereof, and against the people^H5971 of the land^H776.¹⁹And they shall fight^H3898 against thee; but they shall not prevail^H3201 against thee; for I am with thee, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, to deliver^H5337 thee.
