Jeremiah 19
Ready to read
1
Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, it appeared like [it was made of] sapphire or lapis lazuli; and [seated] on that which looked like a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man.
2
Now upward, from that which appeared to be His waist, I saw something like glowing metal that looked like it was filled with fire all around it; and downward, from that which appeared to be His waist, I saw something like fire; and there was a brightness and a remarkable radiance [like a halo] around Him.
3
As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory and brilliance of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell face downward and I heard a voice of One speaking.
4
Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet and I will speak to you."
5
Then as He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.
6
And He said to me, "I am sending you, son of man, to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people [in both the north and the south] that have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have sinned and revolted against Me to this very day.
7
I am sending you to them who are stubborn and obstinate children, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord[1] GOD.'
8
As for them, whether they listen or refuse [to listen]—for they are a rebellious house—yet they will know and be fully aware of the fact that there has been a prophet among them.
9
And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words; though briars and thorns are all around you and you sit among scorpions, neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
10
But you shall speak My words to them whether they will listen or refuse [to listen], for they are [most] rebellious.
11
"As for you, son of man, listen to what I say to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."
12
Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out toward me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.
13
And He spread it before me, and it was written on the front and on the back, and written on it were [words of] lamentation (funeral songs) and mourning and woe.
14
He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find [in this book]; eat this scroll, then go, speak to the house of Israel."
15
So I opened my mouth, and He fed me the scroll.
