Jeremiah 1:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ “Before I ^(A)formed you in the womb I knew you,
And ^(B)before you were born I consecrated you;
I have ^(C)appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
⁶ Then ^(D)I said, “Alas, Lord ^[a]God!
Behold, I do not know how to speak,
Because ^(E)I am a youth.”
