Jeremiah 1

1 The time, 3 and the calling of Jeremiah. 11 His prophetical visions of an almond rod and a seething pot. 15 His heavy message against Judah. 17 God encourageth him with his promise of assistance.

 1:1 ¶ The words 1697 of Jeremiah 3414 the son 1121 of Hilkiah, 2518 of x4480 the priests 3548 that x834 [were] in Anathoth 6068 in the land 776 of Benjamin: 1144

 1:2 To whom x834 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 in the days 3117 of Josiah 2977 the son 1121 of Amon 526 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 in the thirteenth 7969 6240 year 8141 of his reign. 4427 z8800

 1:3 It came x1961 also in the days 3117 of Jehoiakim 3079 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 unto x5704 the end 8552 z8800 of the eleventh 6249 6240 year 8141 of Zedekiah 6667 the son 1121 of Josiah 2977 king 4428 of Judah, 3063 unto x5704 the carrying away 1540 z0 of Jerusalem 3389 captive y1540 z8800 in the fifth 2549 month. 2320

 1:4 Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 unto x413 me, saying, 559 z8800

 1:5 Before 2962 I formed 3335 z8799 thee in the belly 990 I knew 3045 z8804 thee; and before x2962 thou camest forth 3318 z8799 out of the womb 7358 x4480 I sanctified 6942 z8689 thee, [and] I ordained 5414 z8804 thee a prophet 5030 unto the nations. 1471

 1:6 Then said 559 z8799 I, Ah, 162 Lord 136 GOD! 3069 behold, x2009 I cannot 3045 z8804 x3808 speak: 1696 z8763 for x3588 I x595 [am] a child. 5288

 1:7 ¶ But the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Say 559 z8799 not, x408 I x595 [am] a child: 5288 for x3588 thou shalt go y3212 z8799 x1980 to x5921 all x3605 that x834 I shall send 7971 z8799 thee, and whatsoever x3605 x834 I command 6680 z8762 thee thou shalt speak. 1696 z8762

 1:8 Be not x408 afraid 3372 z8799 of their faces: 6440 x4480 for x3588 I x589 [am] with x854 thee to deliver 5337 z8687 thee, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068

 1:9 Then the LORD 3068 put forth 7971 z8799 x853 his hand, 3027 and touched 5060 z8686 x5921 my mouth. 6310 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Behold, x2009 I have put 5414 z8804 my words 1697 in thy mouth. 6310

 1:10 See, 7200 z8798 I have this x2088 day 3117 set 6485 z8689 thee over x5921 the nations 1471 and over x5921 the kingdoms, 4467 to root out, 5428 z8800 and to pull down, 5422 z8800 and to destroy, 6 z8687 and to throw down, 2040 z8800 to build, 1129 z8800 and to plant. 5193 z8800

 1:11 ¶ Moreover the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 unto x413 me, saying, 559 z8800 Jeremiah, 3414 what x4100 seest 7200 z8802 thou? x859 And I said, 559 z8799 I x589 see 7200 z8802 a rod 4731 of an almond tree. 8247

 1:12 Then said 559 z8799 the LORD 3068 unto x413 me, Thou hast well 3190 z8689 seen: 7200 z8800 for x3588 I x589 will hasten 8245 z8802 x5921 my word 1697 to perform 6213 z8800 it.

 1:13 And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 unto x413 me the second time, 8145 saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 seest 7200 z8802 thou? x859 And I said, 559 z8799 I x589 see 7200 z8802 a seething 5301 z8803 pot; 5518 and the face 6440 thereof [is] toward 6440 x4480 the north. 6828

 1:14 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 me, Out of the north 6828 x4480 an evil 7451 shall break forth 6605 z8735 upon x5921 all x3605 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the land. 776

 1:15 For, x3588 lo, x2009 I will call 7121 z8802 all x3605 the families 4940 of the kingdoms 4467 of the north, 6828 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD; 3068 and they shall come, 935 z8804 and they shall set 5414 z8804 every one 376 his throne 3678 at the entering 6607 of the gates 8179 of Jerusalem, 3389 and against x5921 all x3605 the walls 2346 thereof round about, 5439 and against x5921 all x3605 the cities 5892 of Judah. 3063

 1:16 And I will utter 1696 z8765 my judgments 4941 against them touching 5921 all x3605 their wickedness, 7451 who x834 have forsaken 5800 z8804 me, and have burned incense 6999 z8762 unto other 312 gods, 430 and worshipped 7812 z8691 the works 4639 of their own hands. 3027

 1:17 ¶ Thou x859 therefore gird up 247 z8799 thy loins, 4975 and arise, 6965 z8804 and speak 1696 z8765 unto x413 them x853 all x3605 that x834 I x595 command 6680 z8762 thee: be not x408 dismayed 2865 z8735 at their faces, 6440 x4480 lest x6435 I confound 2865 z8686 thee before 6440 them.

 1:18 For, x589 behold, x2009 I y589 have made 5414 z8804 thee this day 3117 a defenced 4013 city, 5892 and an iron 1270 pillar, 5982 and brasen 5178 walls 2346 against x5921 the whole x3605 land, 776 against the kings 4428 of Judah, 3063 against the princes 8269 thereof, against the priests 3548 thereof, and against the people 5971 of the land. 776

 1:19 And they shall fight 3898 z8738 against x413 thee; but they shall not x3808 prevail 3201 z8799 against thee; for x3588 I x589 [am] with x854 thee, saith 5002 z8803 the LORD, 3068 to deliver 5337 z8687 thee.
