Jeremiah 1:4-8
4Now the word of the Lord came to me saying,5“Before I 1formed you in the womb I knew you, And 2before you were born I consecrated you; I have 3appointed you a prophet to the nations.”6Then 4I said, “Alas, Lord 5God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because 6I am a youth.”7But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ 7Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And 8all that I command you, you shall speak.89Do not be afraid of them, For 10I am with you to deliver you,” declares the Lord.
