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)

Lexham English Bible
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth.”[a] 7 But Yahweh said to me, “You must not say, ‘I am a youth,’[b] for to whomever[c] I send you, you will go, and whatever[d] I command you, you will speak. 8 Do not be afraid of them,[e] for I am with you to deliver you,” declares[f] Yahweh. 9 Then Yahweh stretched out his hand and he touched my mouth, and Yahweh said to me,
“Look, I have put my words in your mouth.
10 See, I appoint you this day over the nations
and over the kingdoms,
to pluck up and to pull down,
and to destroy and to tear down,
to build and to plant.”
