⁷ But the Lord said to me, “Do not say that you are too young, but go to the people I send you to, and tell them everything I command you to say. ⁸ Do not be afraid of them, for I will be with you to protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

⁹ Then the Lord reached out, touched my lips, and said to me, “Listen, I am giving you the words you must speak.
