Jeremiah 1:6-10

21st Century King James Version

⁶ Then said I, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.”

⁷ But the Lord said unto me, “Say not, ‘I am a child,’ for thou shalt go to all whom I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

⁸ Be not afraid of their faces, for I am with thee to deliver thee,” saith the Lord.

⁹ Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, “Behold, I have put My words in thy mouth.

¹⁰ See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms to root out and to pull down, and to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.”
