1 The words of Jeremias the son of Helcias, of the priests that were in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin. 2 The word of the Lord which came to him in the days of Josias the son of Amon king of Juda, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 And which came to him in the days of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, unto the end of the eleventh year of Sedecias the son of Josias king of Juda, even unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations.
6 And I said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
7 And the Lord said to me:
Say not: I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee: and whatsoever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak.
8 Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
9 And the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me:
Behold I have given my words in thy mouth:
10 Lo, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over kingdoms, to root up, and to pull down, and to waste, and to destroy, and to build, and to plant.
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: I see a rod watching.
12 And the Lord said to me: Thou hast seen well: for I will watch over my word to perform it.
13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time saying: What seest thou? And I said: I see a boiling caldron, and the face thereof from the face of the north.
14 And the Lord said to me:
From the north shall an evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
15 For behold I will call together all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord: and they shall come, and shall set every one his throne in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all the walls thereof round about, and upon all the cities of Juda.
16 And I will pronounce my judgments against them, touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, and have adored the work of their own hands.
17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not afraid at their presence: for I will make thee not to fear their countenance.
18 For behold I have made thee this day a fortified city, and a pillar of iron, and a wall of brass, over all the land, to the kings of Juda, to the princes thereof, and to the priests, and to the people of the land.
19 And they shall fight against them, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.

1 Verba Jeremiæ filii Helciæ, de sacerdotibus qui fuerunt in Anathoth, in terra Benjamin. 2 Quod factum est verbum Domini ad eum in diebus Josiæ filii Amon, regis Juda, in tertiodecimo anno regni ejus. 3 Et factum est in diebus Joakim filii Josiæ, regis Juda, usque ad consummationem undecimi anni Sedeciæ, filii Josiæ, regis Juda, usque ad transmigrationem Jerusalem, in mense quinto.
4 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
5 Priusquam te formarem in utero, novi te,
et antequam exires de vulva, sanctificavi te,
et prophetam in gentibus dedi te.
6 Et dixi:
A, a, a, Domine Deus, ecce nescio loqui,
quia puer ego sum.
7 Et dixit Dominus ad me:
Noli dicere: Puer sum:
quoniam ad omnia quæ mittam te ibis,
et universa quæcumque mandavero tibi loqueris.
8 Ne timeas a facie eorum,
quia tecum ego sum ut eruam te,
dicit Dominus.
9 Et misit Dominus manum suam, et tetigit os meum, et dixit Dominus ad me:
Ecce dedi verba mea in ore tuo:
10 ecce constitui te hodie
super gentes et super regna,
ut evellas, et destruas,
et disperdas, et dissipes,
et ædifices, et plantes.
11 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
Quid tu vides, Jeremia?
Et dixi:
Virgam vigilantem ego video.
12 Et dixit Dominus ad me:
Bene vidisti:
quia vigilabo ego super verbo meo,
ut faciam illud.
13 Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad me, dicens:
Quid tu vides?
Et dixi:
Ollam succensam ego video,
et faciem ejus a facie aquilonis.
14 Et dixit Dominus ad me:
Ab aquilone pandetur malum
super omnes habitatores terræ:
15 quia ecce ego convocabo omnes cognationes regnorum aquilonis,
ait Dominus:
et venient, et ponent unusquisque solium suum
in introitu portarum Jerusalem,
et super omnes muros ejus in circuitu,
et super universas urbes Juda:
16 et loquar judicia mea cum eis
super omnem malitiam eorum qui dereliquerunt me,
et libaverunt diis alienis,
et adoraverunt opus manuum suarum.
17 Tu ergo, accinge lumbos tuos,
et surge, et loquere ad eos
omnia quæ ego præcipio tibi.
Ne formides a facie eorum,
nec enim timere te faciam vultum eorum.
18 Ego quippe dedi te hodie in civitatem munitam,
et in columnam ferream,
et in murum æreum,
super omnem terram,
regibus Juda, principibus ejus,
et sacerdotibus, et populo terræ.
19 Et bellabunt adversum te,
et non prævalebunt,
quia ego tecum sum, ait Dominus, ut liberem te.
