Jeremiah 1:6-8

New International Version - UK

⁶ ‘Alas, Sovereign Lord,’ I said, ‘I do not know how to speak; I am too young.’

⁷ But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am too young.” You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. ⁸ Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,’ declares the Lord.
