Jeremiah 1:4-10

4Now the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 5Before I formedH3335 thee in the bellyH990 I knewH3045 thee, and before thou camest forthH3318 out of the wombH990 I sanctifiedH6942 thee; I have appointed thee a prophetH5030 unto the nationsH1471. 6Then saidH559 I, Ah, LordH136 Jehovah! behold, I knowH3045 not how to speakH1696; for I am a child. 7But Jehovah saidH559 unto me, SayH559 not, I am a child; for to whomsoever I shall sendH7971 thee thou shalt goH7971, and whatsoever I shall commandH6680 thee thou shalt speakH1696. 8Be not afraidH3372 because of them; for I am with thee to deliverH5337 thee, saith Jehovah. 9Then Jehovah putH5414 forthH7971 his handH3027, and touchedH5060 my mouthH6310; and Jehovah saidH559 unto me, Behold, I have putH5414 my wordsH1697 in thy mouthH6310: 10seeH7200, I have this dayH3117 set thee over the nationsH1471 and over the kingdomsH4467, to pluckH5428 up and to breakH2040 downH5422 and to destroyH6 and to overthrow, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193.
