Jeremiah 1:6-10
New International Version
6 “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak;(A) I am too young.”(B)
7 But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid(C) of them, for I am with you(D) and will rescue(E) you,” declares the Lord.(F)
9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched(G) my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.(H) 10 See, today I appoint you over nations(I) and kingdoms to uproot(J) and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”(K)

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)
