![]() Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD. Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing. Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead. The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination. Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt? Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel: ![]() Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD. Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. Jer.2 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, And they shall fight against thee but they shall not prevail against thee for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee. 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. 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. 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. ![]() 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. Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. 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. Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it. 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. 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. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. ![]() 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. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 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. Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 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. 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.
