Jeremiah 1:4-10
 |
The words written above are in Hebrew (davar-YHWH) meaning "the word of the Lord."
|
(4) Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, (5) "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." (6) Then I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth." (7) But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a youth'; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. (8) Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the LORD." (9) Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me, "Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. (10) See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."
