‏ Jeremiah 1:5-10

1:6 ^a Jeremiah was young (probably a teenager).
Summary for Jer 1:7-8: 1:7-8 ^b God urged Jeremiah to look beyond himself to the importance of the task he was called to fulfill. He had to meet God’s requirements for a royal messenger, which included willingness to travel and the faithful delivery of the Lord’s messages.
1:9 ^c When God placed his words in Jeremiah’s mouth, he granted the prophet the status of an official royal messenger, including the ability to speak authoritatively in public.
