Jeremiah 1:6-10

⁶“Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!”

⁷But the LORD told me:

“Do not say,

‘I am only a child.’

For to everyone I send you,

you must go,

and all that I command you,

you must speak.

⁸Do not be afraid of them,

for I am with you to deliver you,”

⁹Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me:

“Behold, I have put My words

in your mouth.

¹⁰See, I have appointed you today

over nations and kingdoms

to uproot and tear down,

to destroy and overthrow,

to build and plant.”
