Jeremiah 1:6-10

New King James Version

^(A)“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”

“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And ^(B)whatever I command you, you shall speak.
^8 (C)Do not be afraid of their faces,
For ^(D)I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

“Behold, I have ^(F)put My words in your mouth.
^10 (G)See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To ^(H)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
