Jeremiah 1:6-10
Modern English Version
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Truly, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth.’ For you shall go everywhere that I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid of 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, “Now, I have put My words in your mouth. 10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.”

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

“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And (B)whatever I command you, you shall speak.

For (D)I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and (E)touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have (F)put My words in your mouth.
10 (G)See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To (H)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
