Jeremiah 1:4-9
New American Standard Bible
5'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.'
6Then I said, 'Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.'
7But the Lord said to me, 'Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak.
8Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,' declares the Lord.
9Then the Lord stretched out His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me, 'Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
King James Version
Chapter 1
4Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9Then 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.Christian Standard Bible
