New International Version
1 The words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests at Anathoth(A) in the territory of Benjamin. 2 The word of the Lord came(B) to him in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah(C) son of Amon king of Judah, 3 and through the reign of Jehoiakim(D) son of Josiah king of Judah, down to the fifth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah(E) son of Josiah king of Judah, when the people of Jerusalem went into exile.(F)
The Call of Jeremiah
4 The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb(G) I knew[a](H) you,
before you were born(I) I set you apart;(J)
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.(K)”
6 “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak;(L) I am too young.”(M)
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(N) of them, for I am with you(O) and will rescue(P) you,” declares the Lord.(Q)
9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched(R) my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.(S) 10 See, today I appoint you over nations(T) and kingdoms to uproot(U) and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”(V)
11 The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?”(W)
“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](X) to see that my word is fulfilled.”
13 The word of the Lord came to me again: “What do you see?”(Y)
“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(Z) 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.(AA)
16 I will pronounce my judgments(AB) on my people
because of their wickedness(AC) in forsaking me,(AD)
in burning incense to other gods(AE)
and in worshiping(AF) what their hands have made.(AG)
17 “Get yourself ready! Stand up and say(AH) to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified(AI) by them, or I will terrify you before them. 18 Today I have made you(AJ) a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you but will not overcome(AK) you, for I am with you(AL) and will rescue(AM) you,” declares the Lord.

King James Version
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 the Lord 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 Then the word of the Lord 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, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
7 But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord 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 root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
13 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.
14 Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the north an 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 the Lord; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering 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, who 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 their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen 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 the Lord, to deliver thee.

I.— ORÁCULOS CONTRA JUDÁ Y SUS MONARCAS (1—25)
Vocación y primeras visiones y oráculos
4 Me llegó la palabra del Señor en estos términos:
5 — Antes de formarte yo en el vientre, ya te conocía; antes de que salieras de las entrañas maternas, te consagré profeta y te destiné a las naciones.
6 Respondí:
— Ay, Señor mi Dios. ¡Pero si no sé ni hablar; soy muy joven!
7 Me contestó el Señor:
— No digas que eres joven. Irás a todos los sitios adonde yo te envíe y dirás todo lo que te ordene. 8 No les tengas miedo, pues estoy contigo para defenderte —oráculo del Señor—.
9 El Señor alargó su brazo, me tocó en la boca y me dijo:
— He puesto mis palabras en tu boca. 10 Mira, hoy mismo te doy poder sobre naciones y reinos, para arrancar y arrasar, para destruir y demoler, para construir y plantar.
11 El Señor me dirigió la palabra en estos términos:
— ¿Qué ves, Jeremías?
Respondí:
— Veo una rama de almendro.
12 Añadió el Señor:
— Has visto bien. Pues yo también vigilo para que se cumpla mi palabra.
13 Por segunda vez me dirigió el Señor su palabra en estos términos:
— ¿Qué ves?
Respondí:
— Veo un caldero hirviendo, con sus bordes inclinados del lado del norte.
14 El Señor me dijo:
— El desastre se precipitará desde el norte sobre todos los habitantes del país, 15 pues pienso citar a todos los clanes y reinos del norte —oráculo del Señor—.
Vendrán y pondrán su sitial
a la entrada de las puertas de Jerusalén,
en torno a todas sus murallas
y en todas las ciudades de Judá.
16 Expondré mis cargos contra ellos,
por el mal que hicieron olvidándome,
quemando incienso a otros dioses,
adorando a las obras de sus manos.
17 Y tú, disponte a pelear,
puesto en pie les dirás
todo lo que yo te ordene.
Y no les tengas miedo,
o seré yo el que te intimide.
18 Mira, te he convertido
desde hoy en plaza fuerte,
serás columna de hierro,
igual que muro de bronce,
enfrentado a todo el país:
a los reyes y príncipes de Judá,
sacerdotes y pueblo de la tierra.
19 Te atacarán, pero no te vencerán,
pues estoy contigo para ayudarte
—oráculo del Señor—.
