Jeremiah 1:5-7
Christian Standard Bible
5 I chose you before I formed you in the womb;
I set you apart before you were born.(A)
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.(B)
6 But I protested, “Oh no, Lord God! Look, I don’t know how to speak(C) since I am only a youth.”(D)
7 Then the Lord said to me:
Do not say, “I am only a youth,”(E)
for you will go to everyone I send you to
and speak whatever I tell you.(F)
