Jeremiah 1:5-7

5 ^a“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born ^bI consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet ^cto the nations.”
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, ^dI do not know how to speak, ^efor I am only a youth.” 7 But the Lord said to me,

“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,
and ^fwhatever I command you, you shall speak.
