(9) GOD
reached out and touched my mouth, and GOD said to me: Herewith I put My words into your mouth. (10) See, I appoint you this day
Over nations and kingdoms:
To uproot and to pull down,
To destroy and to overthrow,
To build and to plant.
(11) The word of GOD came to me: What do you see, Jeremiah? I replied: I see a branch of an almond tree.aalmond tree Heb. shaqed. (12) GOD said to me:
You have seen right,
For I am watchfulbwatchful Heb. shoqed. to bring My word to pass. (13) And the word of GOD came to me a second time: What do you see? I replied:
I see a steaming pot,
Tipped away from the north.cTipped away from the north Meaning of Heb. uncertain. (14) And GOD said to me:
From the north shall disaster break loose
Upon all the inhabitants of the land! (15) For I am summoning all the peoples
Of the kingdoms of the north
—declares GOD.
They shall come, and shall each set up a throne
Before the gates of Jerusalem,
Against its walls round about,
And against all the towns of Judah. (16) And I will argue My case against themdthem I.e., Jerusalem and Judah.
For all their wickedness:
They have forsaken Me
And sacrificed to other gods
And worshiped the works of their hands. (17) So you, gird up your loins,
Arise and speak to them
All that I command you.
Do not break down before them,
Lest I break you before them. (18) I make you this day
A fortified city,
And an iron pillar,
And bronze walls
Against the whole land—
Against Judah’s kings and officers,
And against its priests and citizens.ecitizens Lit. “the people of the land.” (19) They will attack you,
But they shall not overcome you;
For I am with you—declares GOD —to save you. (1) The word of GOD came to me, saying, (2) Go proclaim to Jerusalem: Thus said GOD:
I accounted to your favor
The devotion of your youth,
Your love as a bride—
How you followed Me in the wilderness,
In a land not sown. (3) Israel was holy to GOD,
The first fruits of God’s harvest.
All who ate of it were held guilty;
Disaster befell them
—declares GOD.
