Jeremiah 1

6 Then I said, "Ah, Lord God! Behold, *[Ex. 4:10] I do not know how to speak, *[1 Kgs. 3:7]for I am only a youth." 7 But 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 *ver. 17;Ezek. 2:7whatever I command you, you shall speak.

8 *Ezek. 2:6;3:9Do not be afraid of them,

*ch. 15:20;See Ex. 3:12for I am with you to deliver you,

declares the Lord."
