Jeremiah 1:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ I replied, “Ah, Lord God! Look, I don’t know how to speak, because I’m only^[a] a young man.”

⁷ Then the Lord told me, “Don’t say, ‘I’m only^[b] a young man,’ for you will go everywhere I send you, and you will speak everything I command you. ⁸ Don’t be afraid of them, because I am with you to deliver you,” declares the Lord.
