Jeremiah 1:6-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am only a youth.^(A)

⁷ But the Lord said to me, Say not, I am only a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.

⁸ Be not afraid of them [their faces], for I am with you to deliver you, says the Lord.

⁹ Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
