4 The LORD said to me, 5 Before I formed you in your mother's womb I chose you. Before you were born I set you apart. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.| 6 I answered, |Oh, Lord GOD, I really do not know how to speak well enough for that, for I am too young.| 7 The LORD said to me, |Do not say, 'I am too young.' But go to whomever I send you and say whatever I tell you. 8 Do not be afraid of those to whom I send you, for I will be with you to protect you,| says the LORD. 9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, |I will most assuredly give you the words you are to speak for me.
