Jeremiah 1:4-10 - The Call Of Jeremiah
4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 "Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came forth out of the womb, I sanctified you. I have 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 a child."
7 But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a child;' for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall speak. 8 Do not be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you," says the LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to me, "Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. 10 Behold, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant."
