4 Now the word of the Lord came to me saying,
5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.
6Then I said, Ah, Lord God! Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy.
7But the Lord said to me,
Do not say, I am only a boy;
for you shall go to all to whom I send you,
and you shall speak whatever I command you.
8 Do not be afraid of them,
for I am with you to deliver you,
says the Lord.
9Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth; and the Lord said to me,
Now I have put my words in your mouth.
10 See, today I appoint you over nations and over kingdoms,
to pluck up and to pull down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.
