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)
