Jeremiah 1:5-8

English Standard Version

^5 (A)“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born ^(B)I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet ^(C)to the nations.”

“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,
and ^(F)whatever I command you, you shall speak.
^8 (G)Do not be afraid of them,
^(H)for I am with you to deliver you,
declares the Lord.”
