Jeremiah 1:4-7 ▼

4 Now the word of Yahweh came to me saying,

5 “Before I formed you in the innermost parts I knew you, And before you came out from the womb I set you apart; I have given you as a prophet to the nations.”

6 Then I said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh! Behold, I do not know how to speak Because I am a youth.”

7 But Yahweh said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak.
