Jeremiah 1:6-10
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.”

New King James Version
6 Then said I:
(A)“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, 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 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.
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.”
