11耶和华又对我说：“耶利米，你看见什么？”我说：“我看见一根杏树枝。”12耶和华说：“不错。我必实现我说过的话。”13耶和华又对我说：“你看见什么？”我回答说：“我看见一锅煮沸的水，从北方倾倒下来。”14耶和华说：“不错。因为有灾祸要从北方降临到这地方的一切居民。15我要召来北方各国，他们要在耶路撒冷的城门自立王位，攻打耶路撒冷周围的城墙和犹大各城邑。这是耶和华说的。16我要审判他们，因为他们犯罪作恶，背弃我，给别的神明烧香，又跪拜自己制造的神像。17现在，你要做好准备，去把我吩咐你的话告诉他们。不要惧怕他们，不然我将使你在他们面前充满恐惧。18看啊，今天我已使你成为坚城、铁柱、铜墙，来对抗整个犹大，对抗犹大的君王、首领、祭司和境内的众民。19他们必攻击你，但绝不能胜过你，因为我与你同在，我必拯救你。这是耶和华说的。”

The Call of Jeremiah
4Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,5“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”6Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”7But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.8Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.”9Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.10See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”11And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see an almond* branch.”12Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.”13The word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north.”14Then the Lord said to me, “Out of the north disaster* shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land.15For behold, I am calling all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, declares the Lord, and they shall come, and every one shall set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls all around and against all the cities of Judah.16And I will declare my judgments against them, for all their evil in forsaking me. They have made offerings to other gods and worshiped the works of their own hands.17But you, dress yourself for work;* arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them.18And I, behold, I make you this day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.19They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the Lord, to deliver you.”
