Jeremiah 1:11-19 - Yahweh Confirms Jeremiah's Call
11 And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying, What seem thou, Jeremiah? and saying, I see the shoot of an almond tree.
12 And Jehovah will say to me, Thou didst well to see; for I watch upon my word to do it 13 And the word of Jehovah will be to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? and saying, I see a pot blown under, and its face from the face of the north.
14 And Jehovah will say to me, From the north shall evil be opened upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15 For behold me calling to all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says Jehovah; and they came, and gave a man his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all her walls round about and upon all the cities of Judah.
16 And I spake my judgment with them concerning all their evil, who forsook me, and they will burn incense to other gods, and they will worship to the works of their hands.
17 And thou shalt gird thy loins and rise and speak to them all that I shall command thee: thou shalt not be terrified from their face lest I shall break thee before them. 18 Behold, I gave thee this day for a fortified city and for a pillar of iron and for a wall of brass upon all the land to the kings of Judah, to her chiefs, to her priests, and to the people of the land. 19 And they warred against thee; and they shall not prevail against thee, for I am with thee, says Jehovah, to deliver thee.
