Jeremiah 1:6-10
Modern English Version
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Truly, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth.’ For you shall go everywhere that I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of their faces. For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, “Now, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.”

(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.

For (D)I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

“Behold, I have (F)put My words in your mouth.

To (H)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
