God called Jeremiah as His watchman and messenger "to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down" established nations and kingdoms before any could be built up or planted (Jeremiah 1:5, 10).
Mungu alimwita Yeremia kama mlinzi wake na mjumbe kung oa, na kuharibu, na kuangamiza mataifa yaliyojengwa na falme kabla ya kujenga au kupanda lolote (Yer 1:5, 10).
