Jeremiah 1:4-10

Jeremiah 1:4-10

[4] Then the word  of the LORD  came unto me, saying,  [5] Before  I formed  thee in the belly  I knew  thee; and before thou camest forth  out of the womb  I sanctified  thee, and I ordained  thee a prophet  unto the nations.  [6] Then said  I, Ah,  Lord  GOD!  behold, I cannot  speak:  for I am a child.  [7] But the LORD  said  not, I am a child:  to all that I shall send  thee, and whatsoever I command  thee thou shalt speak.  [8] Be not afraid  of their faces:  for I am with thee to deliver  thee, saith  [9] Then the LORD  put forth  his hand,  and touched  my mouth.  And the LORD  said  unto me, Behold, I have put  my words  in thy mouth.  [10] See,  I have this day  set  thee over the nations  and over the kingdoms,  to root out,  and to pull down,  and to destroy,  and to throw down,  to build,  and to plant.
