GIRD UP

JEREMIAH 1:12-19

THEN SAID THE LORD

UNTO ME,

THOU HAST WELL SEEN:

FOR I WILL

HASTEN MY WORD

TO PERFORM IT.

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.

THEN THE 

LORD SAID UNTO ME,

OUT OF THE NORTH

AN EVIL 

SHALL BREAK FORTH

UPON ALL 

THE INHABITANTS

OF THE LAND.

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 JERUSALEM, 

AND

AGAINST 

ALL THE WALLS

THEREOF ROUND ABOUT,

AND

AGAINST ALL

THE CITIES OF JUDAH.

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.

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.

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 PRIEST

THEREOF,

AND

AGAINST 

THE PEOPLE 

OF THE LAND.

AND

THEY SHALL FIGHT 

AGAINST THEE;

BUT 

THEY SHALL NOT

PREVAIL

AGAINST THEE;

FOR I AM WITH THEE,

SAITH THE LORD,

TO DELIVER THEE. 

 LOVE
