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
Revised Standard Version
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” 7 But the Lord said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you you shall go,
and whatever I command you you shall speak.
8 Be not afraid of them,
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.
10 See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,
to pluck up and to break down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.”
