4 The word of the LORD came to me: 5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you. 6 “Ah, Lord GOD!” I said, “I do not know how to speak. I am too young!” 7 But the LORD answered me, Do not say, “I am too young.” To whomever I send you, you shall go; whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you—oracle of the LORD. 9 Then the LORD extended his hand and touched my mouth, saying to me, See, I place my words in your mouth!
