in the fifth Jer 52:12,15 2Ki 25:8 Zec 7:5 8:19

4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

the world Jer 1:2 Eze 1:3 3:16

5 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.

before I Ps 71:5,6 Isa 49:1,5 Lu 1:76 Ga 1:15,16

I knew Ex 33:12,17 Ro 8:29 2Ti 2:19-21

and before Lu 1:15,41 Ro 1:1

and I ordained. Heb. and I gave Eph 1:22 4:11,12

6 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

Ah, Lord Jer 4:10 14:13 32:17

I cannot Eze 4:10-16 6:12 Isa 6:5

for I am 1Ki 3:7-9

7 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.

for thou shalt Jer 1:17,18 Ex 7:1,2 Nu 22:20,38 1Ki 22:14 2Ch 18:13 Eze 2:3-5 3:17-21,27 Mt 28:20 Mr 16:15,16 Ac 20:27

8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

not afraid Jer 1:17 Isa 51:7,12 Eze 2:6,7 3:8,9 Mt 10:26 Lu 12:4,5 Ac 4:13,29 Eph 6:20

for I am Jer 15:20,21 20:11 Ex 3:12 De 31:6,8 Jos 1:5,9 Isa 43:2 Mt 28:20 Ac 7:9,10 18:10 26:17 2Co 1:8-10 2Ti 4:17,18 Heb 13:5

and touched Ex 4:11,12 Isa 6:6,7 49:2 50:4 Lu 21:15

behold Jer 5:14 Ex 4:15,16 Isa 51:16 Eze 3:10 Mt 10:19 Lu 12:12

10 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.

I have Jer 25:15-27 27:2-7 46:1 47:1 48:1 49:1 50:1 51:1 1Ki 17:1 Re 11:3-6

to build Jer 18:9 24:6 31:4,5,28 Isa 44:26-28 Eze 36:36 Am 9:11

11 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.

what seest thou Am 7:8 8:2 Zec 4:2 5:2

I see a rod Nu 17:8 Eze 7:10

12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

thou hast De 5:28 18:17 Lu 10:28 20:39

I will Jer 39:1 52:1 De 32:35 Eze 12:22,23,25,28 Am 8:2

13 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.

the second time Ge 41:32 2Co 13:1,2

I see Eze 11:3,7 24:3-14

toward the north. Heb. from the face of the north

14 Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.

out of Jer 4:6 6:1,22 10:22 31:8 46:20 50:9,41 Isa 41:25 Eze 1:4

break forth. Heb. be opened

15 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.

I will call Jer 5:15 6:22 10:22,25 25:9,28,31,32

and they Jer 39:3 43:10 Isa 22:7

and against Jer 4:16 9:11 33:10 34:22 44:6 De 28:49-53 La 5:11

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.

and I Jer 4:12,28 5:9,29 Eze 24:14 Joe 2:11 Mt 23:35,36

who have Jer 2:13,17 15:6 16:11 17:13 19:4 De 28:20 31:16 Jos 24:20 2Ki 22:17 2Ch 7:19 15:2 34:25

and have Jer 7:9 11:12,17 44:17 Isa 65:3 Eze 8:9-11 Ho 11:2

worshipped Jer 10:8,9,15 51:17 Isa 2:8 37:19 44:15 Ho 8:6 Ac 7:41

17 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.

gird up 1Ki 18:46 2Ki 4:29 9:1 Job 38:3 Lu 12:35 1Pe 1:13

confound thee. or, break thee to pieces Eze 3:14-18 33:6-8 1Co 9:16

18 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.

I have Jer 6:27 15:20 Isa 50:7 Eze 3:8,9 Mic 3:8,9 Joh 1:42

19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
