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.
