Jeremiah — Capítulo 1

When God called Jeremiah to warn the kingdom of Judah of its impending destruction, the kingdom was relatively prosperous, free, and secure. But Judah’s fortunes dramatically changed as Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon asserted his power in the region. Judah suffered under his heavy hand for twenty years before he destroyed the city of Jerusalem and exiled its citizens to Babylon. Throughout these …

1Las palabras de Jeremías hijo de Hilcías, de los sacerdotes que estuvieron en Anatot, en tierra de Benjamín.

2Palabra de Jehová que le vino en los días de Josías hijo de Amón, rey de Judá, en el año decimotercero de su reinado.

3Le vino también en días de Joacim hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, hasta el fin del año undécimo de Sedequías hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, hasta la cautividad de Jerusalén en el mes quinto.

4Vino, pues, palabra de Jehová a mí, diciendo:

5Antes que te formase en el vientre te conocí, y antes que nacieses te santifiqué, te di por profeta a las naciones.

6Y yo dije: ¡Ah! ¡Ah, Señor Jehová! He aquí, no sé hablar, porque soy niño.

7Y me dijo Jehová: No digas: Soy un niño; porque a todo lo que te envíe irás tú, y dirás todo lo que te mande.

8No temas delante de ellos, porque contigo estoy para librarte, dice Jehová.

9Y extendió Jehová su mano y tocó mi boca, y me dijo Jehová: He aquí he puesto mis palabras en tu boca.

10Mira que te he puesto en este día sobre naciones y sobre reinos, para arrancar y para destruir, para arruinar y para derribar, para edificar y para plantar.

11La palabra de Jehová vino a mí, diciendo: ¿Qué ves tú, Jeremías? Y dije: Veo una vara de almendro.

12Y me dijo Jehová: Bien has visto; porque yo apresuro mi palabra para ponerla por obra.

13Vino a mí la palabra de Jehová por segunda vez, diciendo: ¿Qué ves tú? Y dije: Veo una olla que hierve; y su faz está hacia el norte.

14Me dijo Jehová: Del norte se soltará el mal sobre todos los moradores de esta tierra.

15Porque he aquí que yo convoco a todas las familias de los reinos del norte, dice Jehová; y vendrán, y pondrá cada uno su campamento a la entrada de las puertas de Jerusalén, y junto a todos sus muros en derredor, y contra todas las ciudades de Judá.

16Y a causa de toda su maldad, proferiré mis juicios contra los que me dejaron, e incensaron a dioses extraños, y la obra de sus manos adoraron.

17Tú, pues, ciñe tus lomos, levántate, y háblales todo cuanto te mande; no temas delante de ellos, para que no te haga yo quebrantar delante de ellos.

18Porque he aquí que yo te he puesto en este día como ciudad fortificada, como columna de hierro, y como muro de bronce contra toda esta tierra, contra los reyes de Judá, sus príncipes, sus sacerdotes, y el pueblo de la tierra.

19Y pelearán contra ti, pero no te vencerán; porque yo estoy contigo, dice Jehová, para librarte.

1:4-5 In his first message from the Lord, Jeremiah learned three important truths about God: his knowledge of all things, including individuals; his ability to choose individuals for specific tasks even before they come into existence; and his willingness to extend his authority to the people he calls. • God set Jeremiah apart to perform a special task and granted him the official status of a prophet when he appointed Jeremiah to that task. • Jeremiah’s ministry extended to the nations. Although he traveled away from the kingdom of Judah only three times (see 13:4-7; 43:7-8), his written materials have been read worldwide.

1:11-12 These verses contain a play on words: The almond tree (Hebrew shaqed) is the first plant to flower, usually in late January or early February. The Lord wanted Jeremiah to know that he was always watching (Hebrew shoqed) him (see also Ps 121:3-8).
