Jeremiah 1:6-10
World English Bible
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord[a] Yahweh! Behold,[b] I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
7 But Yahweh said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you. 8 Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says Yahweh.
9 Then Yahweh stretched out his hand, and touched my mouth. Then Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. 10 Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”

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.

for I am with you to deliver you,
says the Lord.”(B)

“Now I have put my words in your mouth.(C)

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