Context Reading
8Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says Yahweh. 9Then Yahweh stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. Then Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. 10Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.” 11Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.” 12Then Yahweh said to me, “You have seen well; for I watch over my word to perform it.”
