Jeremiah 1:4-12Ā 

English Standard Version (ESV)šŸ•Š

The Call of JeremiahšŸ•Š

Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

ā€œBefore 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.ā€

Then I said, ā€œAh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.ā€ But the Lord said to me,

ā€œDo not say, ā€˜I am only a youth’;
for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,
and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
Do not be afraid of them,
for I am with you to deliver you,
declares the Lord.ā€

Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me,

ā€œBehold, I have put my words in your mouth.
10 See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,
to pluck up and to break down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.ā€

11Ā And the word of theĀ LordĀ came to me, saying,Ā ā€œJeremiah, what do you see?ā€ And I said, ā€œI see an almondĀ branch.ā€Ā 12Ā Then theĀ LordĀ said to me, ā€œYou have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.ā€šŸ•Š
