Jeremiah 1:6-10
Amplified Bible
6
Then I said, “Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I do not know how to speak,
For I am [only] a young man.”(A)
7
But the Lord said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am [only] a young man,’
Because everywhere I send you, you shall go,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8
“Do not be afraid of them [or their hostile faces],
For I am with you [always] to protect you and deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 Then the Lord stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me,
“Behold (hear Me), I have put My words in your mouth.
10
“See, I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To uproot and break down,
To destroy and to overthrow,
To build and to plant.”

9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched(G) my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.(H) 10 See, today I appoint you over nations(I) and kingdoms to uproot(J) and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”(K)
