Jeremiah 1:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ “I chose you before I gave you life, and before you were born I selected you to be a prophet to the nations.”

⁶ I answered, “Sovereign Lord, I don't know how to speak; I am too young.”

⁷ But the Lord said to me, “Do not say that you are too young, but go to the people I send you to, and tell them everything I command you to say.
