Jeremiah 1:6-10
New American Standard Bible
6 Then (A)I said, “Oh, Lord [a]God!
Behold, I do not know how to speak,
Because (B)I am a youth.”
7 But the Lord 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 save you,” declares the Lord.
9 Then the Lord stretched out His hand and (G)touched my mouth, and the Lord 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 root out and to tear down,
To destroy and to overthrow,
(K)To build and to plant.”

(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.
8 (C)Do not be afraid of their faces,
For (D)I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

To (H)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
