Jeremiah 1

6 "Ah, Lord GOD," I said, "I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!"

7 But the LORD told me:

"Do not say,

‘I am only a child.’

For to everyone I send you,

you must go,

and all that I command you,

you must speak.

8 Do not be afraid of them,

for I am with you to deliver you,"

declares the LORD.
