Isaiah 41:8-10
English Standard Version
8 But you, Israel, (A)my servant,
Jacob, (B)whom I have chosen,
the offspring of Abraham, (C)my friend;
9 you whom I took from the ends of the earth,
and called (D)from its farthest corners,
saying to you, “You are (E)my servant,
(F)I have chosen you and not cast you off”;
10 fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with (G)my righteous right hand.
Jeremiah 1:4-8
English Standard Version
The Call of Jeremiah
4 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5 (A)“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born (B)I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet (C)to the nations.”
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, (D)I do not know how to speak, (E)for I am only a youth.” 7 But the Lord said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,
and (F)whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 (G)Do not be afraid of them,
(H)for I am with you to deliver you,
declares the Lord.”
