⁴ The LORD said to me, ⁵ "Before I formed you in your mother's womb I chose you. Before you were born I set you apart. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations." ⁶ I answered, "Oh, Lord 'GOD' , I really do not know how to speak well enough for that, for I am too young." ⁷ The LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am too young.' But go to whomever I send you and say whatever I tell you. ⁸ Do not be afraid of those to whom I send you, for I will be with you to protect you," says the LORD. ⁹ Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "I will most assuredly give you the words you are to speak for me. ¹⁰ Know for certain that I hereby give you the authority to announce to nations and kingdoms that they will be uprooted and torn down, destroyed and demolished, rebuilt and firmly planted."
