Jeremiah 1:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ I answered, “Sovereign Lord, I don't know how to speak; I am too young.”

⁷ But the Lord said to me, “Do not say that you are too young, but go to the people I send you to, and tell them everything I command you to say. ⁸ Do not be afraid of them, for I will be with you to protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
