The Prophet Is Called
4Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5“Before I #Is. 49:1, 5formed you in the womb #Ex. 33:12I knew you;
Before you were born I #(Luke 1:15); Gal. 1:15sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
6Then said I:
#Ex. 4:10; 6:12, 30“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7But the Lord said to me:
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And #Num. 22:20, 38; Jer. 1:17; Matt. 28:20whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8#Ezek. 2:6; 3:9Do not be afraid of their faces,
For #Ex. 3:12; Deut. 31:6; Josh. 1:5; Jer. 15:20; Heb. 13:6I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
9Then the Lord put forth His hand and #Is. 6:7; Mark 7:33–35touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have #Ex. 4:11–16; Deut. 18:18; Is. 51:16put My words in your mouth.
10#1 Kin. 19:17See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To #Jer. 18:7–10; Ezek. 22:18; (2 Cor. 10:4, 5)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
11Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”
12Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”
13And the word of the Lord came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?”
And I said, “I see #Ezek. 11:3; 24:3a boiling pot, and it is facing away from the north.”
14Then the Lord said to me:
“Out of the #Jer. 6:1north calamity shall break forth
On all the inhabitants of the land.
15For behold, I am #Jer. 6:22; 25:9calling
All the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says the Lord;
“They shall come and #Is. 22:7; Jer. 39:3each 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.
16I will utter My judgments
Against them concerning all their wickedness,
Because #Deut. 28:20; Jer. 17:13they have forsaken Me,
Burned #Is. 65:3, 4; Jer. 7:9incense to other gods,
And worshiped the works of their own #Is. 37:19; Jer. 2:28hands.
17“Therefore #1 Kin. 18:46; 2 Kin. 4:29; Job 38:3; Luke 12:35; (1 Pet. 1:13)prepare yourself and arise,
And speak to them all that I command you.
#Ezek. 2:6Do not be dismayed before their faces,
Lest I dismay you before them.
18For behold, I have made you this day
#Is. 50:7; Jer. 6:27; 15:20A fortified city and an iron pillar,
And bronze walls against the whole land—
Against the kings of Judah,
Against its princes,
Against its priests,
And against the people of the land.
19They will fight against you,
But they shall not prevail against you.
For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”
