Jeremiah 1:5-8

NSB(i) 5 »Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.« 6 I, Jeremiah, said: »Lord Jehovah, I do not know how to speak. I am only a child!« 7 Jehovah said to me: »‘Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ You must go wherever I send you. You must say whatever I command you to say. 8 »Do not be afraid of people. I am with you. I will rescue you,« says Jehovah.
