4 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, 5 “Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations.” 6 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.” 7 And YHWH says to me, “Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH. 9 And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:4-10, Literal Standard Version.
