Children » Early piety of » Jeremiah
Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations. I, Jeremiah, said: Lord Jehovah, I do not know how to speak. I am only a child! Jehovah said to me: 'Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go wherever I send you. You must say whatever I command you to say.
