Jeremiah 1:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ Be not afraid at their presence: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.

⁹ And the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me: Behold I have given my words in thy mouth:

¹⁰ Lo, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root up, and pull down, and to waste, and to destroy, and to build, and to plant.
