Jeremiah 1:6-10

6Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, aI do not know how to speak, bfor I am only a youth.” 7But 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 cwhatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 dDo not be afraid of them,
efor I am with you to deliver you,

declares the Lord.”
9 fThen the Lord put out his hand and gtouched my mouth. And the Lord said to me,

Behold, I have put hmy words in your mouth.
10See, I have set you this day iover nations and over kingdoms,
jto pluck up and to break down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.”
