Jeremiah 1 (TFTU)
1 I, Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, am writing these messages. I am a priest, from Anathoth town in the area where the tribe of Benjamin lives. 2 Yahweh started to give me these messages when Josiah had been ruling Judah for almost 13 years. 3 Yahweh continued to give me more messages when Josiah’s son Jehoiakim was the king, and he continued to do that until Zedekiah had been the king of Judah for almost eleven years. It was in August of that year that the people of Jerusalem were ◄exiled/taken as prisoners► to Babylonia. 4 One day Yahweh gave me this message: 5 “I knew you before I finished forming you in your mother’s womb.Before you were born, I ◄set you apart/chose you►and I appointed you to be my prophet whose messages would be for all nations.” 6 I replied, “O, Yahweh my God, I am not qualified to speak for you, because I am very young!” 7 Yahweh replied, “Do not say that, because you must go to everyone to whom I will send you, and you must tell them everything that I tell you to say. 8 And you must not be afraid of the people to whom you will speak, because I will protect you from being harmed by them. This will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it!” 9 Then it was as though Yahweh touched my mouth and said, “Listen to me! I am ◄putting my message into your mouth/telling you what you must speak►. 10 Today I am appointing you to warn nations and kingdoms. You will tell them that I will completely destroy and get rid of [DOU] some of them and that I will establish [MET] others and cause them to be strong.” 11 Then Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”I replied, “I see a branch from an almond tree.” 12 Yahweh said, “That is correct. And because the word for ‘almond’ resembles the word for ‘watching’, it means that I am watching what will happen, and I will make certain that what I have said to you about destroying nations will happen.” 13 Then Yahweh spoke to me again and said, “What do you see now?”I replied, “I see a pot full of boiling water [MTY]. It is tipping toward me from the north.” 14 Yahweh replied, “Yes! It means that from the north great trouble/destruction will spread [MET] over this land, like boiling water [MET] pouring from a pot. 15 Listen to what I say:I am summoning the armies of kingdoms that will come from the north of Judah to Jerusalem.Their kings will set up their thrones at the gates of this city to indicate that they are now the kings of Judah. Their armies will attack and break down the walls of this city, and they will do the same thing to all the other towns in Judah. 16 I will punish [MTY] my people because of all the evil things that they have done;they have abandoned me and they worship gods/idols.They worship idols that they have made with their own hands! 17 So, get up and put on your clothes to get ready for action! Then go to the people of Judah and tell them everything that I tell you to say. Do not be afraid of them, because if you are afraid of them, I will cause you to be truly terrified in front of them! 18 But listen! I will cause you to be strong, like [MET] a city that has strong walls around it. You will be as strong as [MET] an iron pillar or a bronze wall. None of the kings or officials or priests will be able to defeat you. 19 They will oppose you, but they will not be able to defeat you, because I will be with you and will protect you. That will surely happen because I, Yahweh, have said it!”
