Jeremiah 1:5-7

English Standard Version Anglicised

⁵^(A)“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born ^(B)I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet ^(C)to the nations.”

⁶Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, ^(D)I do not know how to speak, ^(E)for I am only a youth.” ⁷But the Lord said to me,

“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,
and ^(F)whatever I command you, you shall speak.
