1 Palabras de Jeremías, hijo de Hilcías, uno de los sacerdotes de Anatot, en la tierra de Benjamín. 2 El Señor le habló en tiempos de Josías, hijo de Amón, rey de Judá, en el año trece de su reinado. 3 También le habló en tiempos de Joacim, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, hasta el año once del reinado de Sedequías, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá, cuando los habitantes de Jerusalén fueron llevados al destierro en el quinto mes. 4 El Señor me habló y me dijo: 5 «Antes de que fueras formado en el vientre de tu madre, ya te conocía; antes de que nacieras, te consagré. Te nombré profeta para las naciones». 6 Entonces dije: «¡Ah, Señor Dios! No sé hablar, porque soy muy joven». 7 Pero el Señor me dijo: «No digas: “Soy muy joven”. Irás adonde yo te envíe y dirás todo lo que te ordene. 8 No les tengas miedo, porque estoy contigo para protegerte», dice el Señor. 9 Entonces el Señor extendió la mano y tocó mi boca. Me dijo: «Mira, he puesto mis palabras en tu boca. 10 Hoy te he puesto sobre las naciones y los reinos para arrancar y aplastar, para destruir y derribar, para construir y plantar». 11 El Señor volvió a hablarme y me preguntó: «Jeremías, ¿qué ves?». Respondí: «Veo una rama de almendro». 12 El Señor me dijo: «Has visto bien, porque vigilo mi palabra para cumplirla». 13 El Señor me habló por segunda vez y me preguntó: «¿Qué ves?». Respondí: «Veo una olla hirviendo, inclinada desde el norte». 14 Entonces el Señor me dijo: «Del norte se derramará la desgracia sobre todos los habitantes de esta tierra. 15 Voy a llamar a todas las familias de los reinos del norte», dice el Señor. «Vendrán y cada uno pondrá su trono a la entrada de Jerusalén, frente a sus murallas por todos lados y frente a todas las ciudades de Judá. 16 Dictaré sentencia contra ellos por toda su maldad, porque me han abandonado, han quemado incienso a otros dioses y han adorado lo que hicieron con sus propias manos. 17 Prepárate, ve y diles todo lo que te ordene. No te dejes vencer por el miedo a ellos, o yo te haré temblar delante de ellos. 18 Hoy te he hecho como una ciudad amurallada, una columna de hierro y unos muros de bronce frente a toda esta tierra: los reyes de Judá, sus gobernantes, sus sacerdotes y su pueblo. 19 Lucharán contra ti, pero no te vencerán, porque estoy contigo para salvarte», dice el Señor.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 1:5 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Preface)

    Now, that the Word of God forms us in the womb, He says to Jeremiah, "Before I formed thee in the womb, I knew thee; and before thou wentest forth from the belly, I sanctified thee, and appointed thee a prophet among the nations." And Paul, too, says in like manner, "But when it pleased God, who separated me from …

  2. Quotes verse 1:5 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XII, Chapters 21–25)

    … hath pleased Him, and to every seed his own body." We ought not even to call a woman the creatress of her own offspring; for He rather is its creator who said to His servant, "Before I formed thee in the womb, I knew thee." And although the various mental emotions of a pregnant woman do produce in the fruit …

  3. Quotes verse 1:5 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture III)

    Jeremiah was sanctified, but did not prophesy, in the womb: John alone while carried in the womb leaped for joy, and though he saw not with the eyes of flesh, knew his Master by the Spirit: for since the grace of Baptism was great, it required greatness in its founder also.

  4. Quotes verse 1:10 Augustine of Hippo, On Christian Doctrine (Book III, Chapters 9–11)

    But in the saying addressed to Jeremiah, "See, I have this day set thee over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down," there is no doubt the whole of the language is figurative, and to be referred to the end I have spoken of.

  5. Quotes verse 1:5 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XII)

    The Lord saith unto Jeremiah: Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee.
