Jeremiah 1:6-10
World English Bible
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord[a] Yahweh! Behold,[b] I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
7 But Yahweh said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you. 8 Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says Yahweh.
9 Then Yahweh stretched out his hand, and touched my mouth. Then Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. 10 Behold, I have today set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”

Jeremiah 1:6-10
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 rescue 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)
