00:00.000 --> 00:03.280
The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah,
Chapter 1.

00:04.240 --> 00:08.420
The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah,
of the priests that were in Anathoth,

00:08.840 --> 00:13.080
in the land of Benjamin, to whom the word
of the Lord came in the days of Josiah,

00:13.540 --> 00:17.240
the son of Ammon king of Judah,
in the thirteenth year of his reign.

00:18.040 --> 00:22.260
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim,
the son of Josiah king of Judah,

00:22.840 --> 00:27.420
unto the end of the eleventh year of
Zedekiah, the son of Josiah king of Judah,

00:27.420 --> 00:31.320
unto the carrying away of Jerusalem,
captive in the fifth month.

00:32.160 --> 00:36.680
Then the word of the Lord came unto me,
saying, Before I formed thee in the belly,

00:37.060 --> 00:37.700
I knew thee.

00:38.520 --> 00:43.060
And before thou camest forth out of the
womb, I sanctified thee, and I ordained

00:43.060 --> 00:44.580
thee a prophet unto the nations.

00:45.680 --> 00:52.700
Then said I, O Lord God, behold,
I cannot speak, for I am a child.

00:53.800 --> 00:57.060
But the Lord said unto me, Say not,
I am a child.

00:57.600 --> 01:01.780
For thou shalt go to all that I shall send
thee, and whatsoever I command thee,

01:02.080 --> 01:02.880
thou shalt speak.

01:03.880 --> 01:08.520
Be not afraid of their faces, for I am
with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.

01:09.660 --> 01:12.000
Then the Lord put forth his hand and
touched my mouth.

01:12.680 --> 01:17.400
And the Lord said unto me, Behold,
I have put my words in thy mouth.

01:18.680 --> 01:22.400
See, I have this day set thee over the
nations and over the kingdoms,

01:22.680 --> 01:26.680
to root out, and to pull down,
and to destroy, and to throw down,

01:26.720 --> 01:27.960
to build, and to plant.

01:29.040 --> 01:33.500
Moreover the word of the Lord came unto
me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou?

01:34.180 --> 01:37.660
And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

01:38.720 --> 01:44.020
Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well
seen, for I will hasten my word to perform

01:44.020 --> 01:44.280
it.

01:45.020 --> 01:49.580
And the word of the Lord came unto me the
second time, saying, What seest thou?

01:50.240 --> 01:56.220
And I said, I see a seething pot,
and the face thereof is toward the north.

01:57.120 --> 02:01.860
Then the Lord said unto me, Out of the
north an evil shall break forth upon all

02:01.860 --> 02:03.240
the inhabitants of the land.

02:04.000 --> 02:08.500
For lo, I will call all the families of
the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord.

02:08.500 --> 02:12.820
And they shall come, and they shall set
every one his throne at the entering of

02:12.820 --> 02:16.480
the gates of Jerusalem, and against all
the walls thereof round about,

02:16.900 --> 02:18.560
and against all the cities of Judah.

02:19.540 --> 02:23.000
And I will utter my judgments against
them, touching all their wickedness,

02:23.300 --> 02:27.260
who have forsaken me, and have burned
incense unto other gods, and worshipped

02:27.260 --> 02:28.660
the works of their own hands.

02:29.740 --> 02:34.060
Thou therefore gird up thy loins and
arise, and speak unto them all that I

02:34.060 --> 02:34.640
command thee.

02:35.180 --> 02:39.240
Be not dismayed at their faces,
lest I confound thee before them.

02:40.120 --> 02:44.840
For behold, I have made thee this day a
defence city, and an iron pillar,

02:45.320 --> 02:49.620
and brassen walls against the whole land,
against the kings of Judah, against the

02:49.620 --> 02:53.720
princes thereof, against the priests
thereof, and against the people of the

02:53.720 --> 02:54.100
land.

02:55.160 --> 02:58.600
And they shall fight against thee,
but they shall not prevail against thee.

02:59.240 --> 03:02.620
For I am with thee, saith the Lord,
to deliver thee.
