The Call of Jeremiah
4
The word of the Lord came to me:
5
I chose you before I formed you in the womb;
[a]
I set you apart before you were born. I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
6
But I protested, "Oh no, Lord God ! Look, I don't know how to speak
[b]
since I am [only] a youth."
7
Then the Lord said to me: Do not say: I am [only] a youth, for you will go to everyone I send you to and speak whatever I tell you.
[c]
8
Do not be afraid of anyone, for I will be with you to deliver you. [This is] the Lord's declaration.
9
Then the Lord reached out His hand, touched my mouth,
[d]
and told me: Look, I have filled your mouth with My words.
[e]
10
See, today I have set you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and demolish, to build and plant.
[f]
