4 The LORD spoke his word to me, 5 |Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.| 6 I, Jeremiah, said, |Almighty LORD, I do not know how to speak. I am only a boy!| 7 But the LORD said to me, |Don't say that you are only a boy. You will go wherever I send you. You will say whatever I command you to say. 8 Don't be afraid of people. I am with you, and I will rescue you,| declares the LORD. 9 Then the LORD stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. The LORD said to me, |Now I have put my words in your mouth.
