Jeremiah 1:4-9

4And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I hallowed thee, I appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.

6And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! behold, I cannot speak; for I am a child.

7But Jehovah said unto me, Say not, I am a child; for thou shalt go to whomsoever I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

8Be not afraid of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah.

9And Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
