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
New Living Translation
6 “O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”
7 The Lord replied, “Don’t say, ‘I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. 8 And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!” 9 Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said,
“Look, I have put my words in your mouth!
10 Today I appoint you to stand up
against nations and kingdoms.
Some you must uproot and tear down,
destroy and overthrow.
Others you must build up
and plant.”
