Jeremiah 1:6-10
Christian Standard Bible
6 But I protested, “Oh no, Lord God! Look, I don’t know how to speak(A) since I am only a youth.”(B)
7 Then the Lord said to me:
Do not say, “I am only a youth,”(C)
for you will go to everyone I send you to
and speak whatever I tell you.(D)
8 Do not be afraid of anyone,(E)
for I will be with you to rescue you.(F)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
9 Then the Lord reached out his hand, touched my mouth,(G) and told me:
I have now filled your mouth with my words.(H)
10 See, I have appointed you today
over nations and kingdoms
to uproot and tear down,
to destroy and demolish,(I)
to build and plant.(J)

6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy.”(A) 7 But the Lord said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am only a boy,’
for you shall go to all to whom I send you,
and you shall speak whatever I command you.
8 Do not be afraid of them,
for I am with you to deliver you,
says the Lord.”(B)
9 Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me,

to pluck up and to pull down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.”(D)
