Jeremiah 1:6-10
6Then aI said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh!Behold, I do not know how to speakBecause bI am a youth.”7But Yahweh said to me,“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’aBecause everywhere I send you, you shall go,And ball that I command you, you shall speak.8“aDo not be afraid of them,For bI am with you to deliver you,” declares Yahweh.
9Then Yahweh sent forth His hand and atouched my mouth, and Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have bput My words in your mouth.
10“See, aI have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms,bTo uproot and to tear down,To cause to perish and to pull down,cTo build and to plant.”
