¹ Moses kept the sheep of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he drove the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, Horeb. ² And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of a bush. And he perceived that the bush burned with fire, and consumed not. ³ Then Moses said, "I will go hence and see this great sight, how it cometh that the bush burneth not." ⁴ And when the LORD saw that he came for to see, he called unto him out of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses." And he answered, "Here am I." ⁵ And he said, "Come not hither, but put thy shoes off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground." ⁶ And he said, "I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. ⁷ Then the LORD said, "I have surely seen the trouble of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, which they have of their taskmasters. For I know their sorrow, ⁸ and am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land unto a good land and a large, and unto a land that floweth with milk and honey: even unto the place of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and of the Jebusites. ⁹ Now therefore behold, the complaint of the children of Israel is come unto me and I have also seen the oppression, wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. ¹⁰ But come, I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt." ¹¹ And Moses said unto God, "What am I, to go to Pharaoh and to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?" ¹² And he said, "I will be with thee. And this shall be a token unto thee that I have sent thee: after that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain." ¹³ Then said Moses unto God, "When I come unto the children of Israel and say unto them, 'The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you,' and they say unto me, 'What is his name?' — What answer shall I give them?" ¹⁴ Then said God unto Moses, "I Will Be What I Will Be." And he said, "This shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'I Will Be did send me to you.'" ¹⁵ And God spake further unto Moses, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you': this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial throughout all generations. ¹⁶ Go therefore and gather the elders of Israel together and say unto them, 'the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, appeared unto me and said: I have been and seen both you and that which is done to you in Egypt. ¹⁷ And I have said it, that I will bring you out of the tribulation of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites: even a land that floweth with milk and honey.' ¹⁸ If it come to pass that they hear thy voice, then go, both thou and the elders of Israel unto the king of Egypt, and say unto him, 'The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: Let us go therefore three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.' ¹⁹ Notwithstanding, I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, except it be with a mighty hand: ²⁰ yea and I will therefore stretch out mine hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do therein. And after that he will let you go. ²¹ And I will get this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: so that when ye go, ye shall not go empty: ²² but every wife shall borrow of her neighboress and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver and of gold and raiment. And ye shall put them on your sons and daughters, and shall rob the Egyptians."

¹ These are the Sermons of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah the Priest, one of them that dwelt at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: ² when the LORD had first spoken with him, in the time of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his kingdom; ³ and so during unto the time of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, and unto the eleven years of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah were ended: when Jerusalem was taken, even in the fifth Month. ⁴ The word of the LORD spake thus unto me, ⁵ "Before I fashioned thee in thy mother's womb, I did know thee: And before thou wast born, I sanctified thee and ordained thee, to be a Prophet unto the people." ⁶ Then said I, "Oh LORD God, I cannot speak, for I am yet but young." ⁷ And the LORD answered me thus, "Say not so, 'I am too young': For thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee unto, and whatsoever I command thee, that shalt thou speak. ⁸ Be not afraid of their faces, for I will be with thee, to deliver thee, sayeth the LORD." ⁹ And with that, the LORD stretched out his hand, and touched my mouth, and said moreover unto me, "Behold, I put my words in thy mouth, ¹⁰ and this day do I set thee over the people and kingdoms: that thou mayest root out, break off, destroy, and make waste; and that thou mayest build up and plant." ¹¹ After this, the LORD spake unto me saying, "Jeremiah, what seest thou?" And I said, "I see a waking rod." ¹² Then said the LORD, "Thou hast seen right, for I will watch diligently upon my word, to perform it." ¹³ It happened afterward, that the LORD spake to me again, and said, "What seest thou? And I said: I do see a seething pot, looking out of the north hitherward." ¹⁴ Then said the LORD unto me, "Out of the north shall come a plague upon all the dwellers of the land. ¹⁵ For lo, I will call all the officers of the kingdoms of the north, sayeth the LORD. And they shall come, and every one shall set his seat in the gates of Jerusalem, and in all their walls round about and through all the cities of Judah. ¹⁶ And through them shall I declare my judgment, upon all the wickedness of those men that have forsaken me: that have offered unto strange gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands. ¹⁷ And therefore gird up thy loins, arise, and tell them all that I give thee in commandment. Fear them not; I will not have thee to be afraid of them. ¹⁸ For behold, this day do I make thee a strong fenced town, an iron pillar, and a wall of steel against the whole land; against the kings and mighty men of Judah; against the priests and people of the land. ¹⁹ They shall fight against thee, but they shall not be able to overcome thee: for I am with thee, to deliver thee, sayeth the LORD."
