5Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.
6Then said I, Ah, Lord Yahweh! behold, I don`t know how to speak; for I am a child.
7But Yahweh said to me, Don`t say, I am a child; for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall speak.
8Don`t be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you, says Yahweh.
9Then Yahweh put forth his hand, and touched my mouth; and Yahweh said to me, Behold, I have put my words in your mouth:
10behold, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
