Jeremiah 1:4-17
New King James Version
The Prophet Is Called
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 “Before I (A)formed you in the womb (B)I knew you;
Before you were born I (C)sanctified[a] you;
I [b]ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then said I:
(D)“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the Lord said to me:
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And (E)whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 (F)Do not be afraid of their faces,
For (G)I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and (H)touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have (I)put My words in your mouth.
10 (J)See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To (K)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
And I said, “I see a [c]branch of an almond tree.”
12 Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am [d]ready to perform My word.”
13 And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?”
And I said, “I see (L)a boiling pot, and it is facing away from the north.”
14 Then the Lord said to me:
“Out of the (M)north calamity shall break forth
On all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For behold, I am (N)calling
All the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the Lord;
“They shall come and (O)each one set his throne
At the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,
Against all its walls all around,
And against all the cities of Judah.
16 I will utter My judgments
Against them concerning all their wickedness,
Because (P)they have forsaken Me,
Burned (Q)incense to other gods,
And worshiped the works of their own (R)hands.
17 “Therefore (S)prepare yourself and arise,
And speak to them all that I command you.
(T)Do not be dismayed before their faces,
Lest I dismay you before them.

The Call of Jeremiah
4 The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb(A) I knew[a](B) you,
before you were born(C) I set you apart;(D)
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.(E)”
6 “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak;(F) I am too young.”(G)
7 But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid(H) of them, for I am with you(I) and will rescue(J) you,” declares the Lord.(K)
9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched(L) my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.(M) 10 See, today I appoint you over nations(N) and kingdoms to uproot(O) and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”(P)
11 The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?”(Q)
“I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied.
12 The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching[b](R) to see that my word is fulfilled.”
13 The word of the Lord came to me again: “What do you see?”(S)
“I see a pot that is boiling,” I answered. “It is tilting toward us from the north.”
14 The Lord said to me, “From the north(T) disaster will be poured out on all who live in the land. 15 I am about to summon all the peoples of the northern kingdoms,” declares the Lord.
“Their kings will come and set up their thrones
in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem;
they will come against all her surrounding walls
and against all the towns of Judah.(U)
16 I will pronounce my judgments(V) on my people
because of their wickedness(W) in forsaking me,(X)
in burning incense to other gods(Y)
and in worshiping(Z) what their hands have made.(AA)
17 “Get yourself ready! Stand up and say(AB) to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified(AC) by them, or I will terrify you before them.
