Jeremiah 1:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ Look! I give you authority to tell nations and kingdoms what will happen to them. You will pull some of them out of the ground, like a plant and its roots. You will knock down and destroy some of them. You will bring an end to their power. But you will build up other nations and make them strong.’

The Lord shows Jeremiah two visions

¹¹ The Lord asked me, ‘What do you see, Jeremiah?’

I replied, ‘I see the branch of an almond tree.’

¹² The Lord said, ‘Yes, that is correct. I am watching carefully to make sure that what I say will happen really happens.’^[a]
