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

“Behold, I have put (H)my words in your mouth.

(J)to pluck up and to break down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.”
