Jeremiah 1:4-10

4 The LORD's word came to me:

4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

5 "Before I created you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I set you apart; I made you a prophet to the nations."

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

6 "Ah, LORD God," I said, "I don't know how to speak because I'm only a child."

6 “Alas, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”

7 The LORD responded, "Don't say, ‘I'm only a child.' Where I send you, you must go; what I tell you, you must say.

7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.

8 Don't be afraid of them, because I'm with you to rescue you," declares the LORD.

8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD.

9 Then the LORD stretched out his hand, touched my mouth, and said to me, "I'm putting my words in your mouth.

9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.

10 This very day I appoint you over nations and empires, to dig up and pull down, to destroy and demolish, to build and plant."

10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”
