Jeremiah 1:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ Then ^(A)I said, “Alas, Lord ^[a]God!
Behold, I do not know how to speak,
Because ^(B)I am a youth.”
⁷ But the Lord said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
^(C)Because everywhere I send you, you shall go,
And ^(D)all that I command you, you shall speak.
⁸ “^(E)Do not be afraid of them,
For ^(F)I am with you to deliver you,” declares the Lord.
