Jeremiah 1:4-10

4Now the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559,5“BeforeH2962 I 1formedH3335 you in the wombH990 I knewH3045 you, And 2beforeH2962 you were bornH3318H7358 I consecratedH6942 you; I have 3appointedH5414 you a prophetH5030 to the nationsH1471.”6Then 4I saidH559, “AlasH162, LordH136 5GodH3068! BeholdH2009, I do not knowH3045 how to speakH1696, BecauseH3588 6I am a youthH5288.”7But the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “Do not sayH559, ‘I am a youthH5288,’ 7BecauseH3588 everywhereH5921H3605H834 I sendH7971 you, you shall goH1980, And 8allH3605 that I commandH6680 you, you shall speakH1696.89Do not be afraidH3372 of them, For 10I am with you to deliverH5337 you,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 9Then the LordH3068 stretchedH7971 out His handH3027 and 11touchedH5060 my mouthH6310, and the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “BeholdH2009, I have 12putH5414 My wordsH1697 in your mouthH6310.10SeeH7200, 13I have appointedH6485 you thisH2088 dayH3117 overH5921 the nationsH1471 and overH5921 the kingdomsH4467, 14To pluckH5428 up and to breakH5422 downH5422, To destroyH6 and to overthrowH2040, 15To buildH1129 and to plantH5193.”
