Jeremiah 1:5-8

LEB(i) 5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you came out from the womb I consecrated you; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." 6 Then I said, "Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth."* 7 But Yahweh said to me, "You must not say, 'I am a youth,'* for to whomever* I send you, you will go, and whatever* I command you, you will speak. 8 Do not be afraid of them,* for I am with you to deliver you," declares* Yahweh.
