Jeremiah 1:6-10
Legacy Standard Bible
6 Then (A)I said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh!
Behold, I do not know how to speak
Because (B)I am a youth.”
7 But Yahweh said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
(C)Because everywhere I send you, you shall go,
And (D)all that I command you, you shall speak.
8 (E)Do not be afraid of them,
For (F)I am with you to deliver you,” declares Yahweh.
9 Then Yahweh sent forth His hand and (G)touched my mouth, and Yahweh said to me,
“Behold, I have (H)put My words in your mouth.
10 See, (I)I have appointed you this day over the nations and over the kingdoms,
(J)To uproot and to tear down,
To cause to perish and to pull down,
(K)To build and to plant.”
Jeremiah 1:6-10
Holman 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 deliver 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)
