Word of the Lord Comes to Jeremiah
1 The words of Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the son of Hilkiyahu [my portion is Yehovah], of the priests that [were] in ‘Anatot [answers to prayer] in the land of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength]:
2 To whom the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came in the days of Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] the son of ‘Amon [master workman] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 It came also in the days of Y’hoyakim [Yehovah raises up] the son of Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], unto the end of the eleventh year of Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] the son of Yoshiyahu [whom Yehovah heals] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], unto the carrying away of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] captive in the fifth month.
4 Then the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed youi in the belly I knew youi; and before youi came forth out of the womb I sanctified youi, [and] I ordained youi a prophet unto the nations.
6 Then said I, Ah, Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER)! behold, I cannot speak: for I [am] a child.
7 But the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Say not, I [am] a child: for youi shall go to all that I shall send youi, and whatsoever I command youi youi shall speak.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with youi to deliver youi, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
9 Then the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in youri mouth.
10 See, I have this day set youi 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me, saying, Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed], what see youi? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
12 Then said the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto me, youi have well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
13 And the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me the second time, saying, What see youi? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof [is] toward the north.
14 Then the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) 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, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and they shall come, and they shall set everyone his throne at the entering of the gates of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].
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.
Assurance Given to Jeremiah
17 youi therefore gird up youri waist, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command youi: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound youi before them.
18 For, behold, I have made youi this day a fortified city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
19 And they shall fight against youi; but they shall not prevail against youi; for I [am] with youi, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to deliver youi.
