Shut up in his bones.

From the Lord to prophesy.)

And warn all the nations"
If they don't pray,
Then they surely will die! Oh!

Prophet Jeremiah,
Received holy fiyer,
So that all would turn from sin.
Preach it!
(Jeremiah was challengin' citizens
Of the land to turn from sin.)
"Turn from evil labor
And give love to your neighbor."
Repent, or life
Will be most empty within! Oh!

To preach the word! Oh!

Jeremiah sagte, es sei grad' wie Feuer
In seinen Knochen eingeschlossen.

Jeremiah sagte, es sei grad' wie Feuer
(Eingeschlossen, eingeschlossen; wie Feuer)
Jeremiah hatte ein Feuer in seinen Knochen. Ja!
(Feuer)
Er hatte das brennende Verlangen, das Wort zu predigen
Jeremiah's Feuer. Oh!

Junger Mann Jeremiah,
Der Sohn von Hilkijah,
Hatte die Gabe, zu prophezeien.
Predige!
(Jeremiah erhielt ein großes Geschenk
Vom Herrn zur Prophezeiung.)
"Sag allen Generationen,
Und warne alle Nationen"
Wenn sie nicht beten,
Dann werden sie sicher sterben! Oh!

Prophet Jeremiah,
Erhielt heiliges Feuer,
Damit alle sich von der Sünde abwenden würden
Predige!
(Jeremiah hat alle Bürger des Landes
Herausgefordert, sich von der Sünde abzuwenden.)
"Wende dich von bösem Tun ab.
Und liebe deinen Nächsten."
Tue Buße, oder dein Seelenleben
Wird ganz leer sein! Oh!

Jeremiah sagte, es sei grad' wie Feuer
(Eingeschlossen, eingeschlossen; wie Feuer)
Jeremiah hatte ein Feuer in seinen Knochen. Ja!

Jeremiah's Feuer. Feuer!

Oh, Jeremiah fühlte das brennende Verlangen in seinem Herzen
Das Wort zu predigen! Oh!
