Jeremiah 1:10-12

American Standard Version

¹⁰ see, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.

¹¹ Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of ^[a]an almond-tree. ¹² Then said Jehovah unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I ^[b]watch over my word to perform it.
