Jeremiah 1:4-10

Geneva(i) 4 Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 5 Before I formed thee in the wombe, I knewe thee, and before thou camest out of the wombe, I sanctified thee, and ordeined thee to be a Prophet vnto the nations. 6 Then said I, Oh, Lord God, behold, I can not speake, for I am a childe. 7 But the Lord said vnto me, Say not, I am a childe: for thou shalt goe to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoeuer I command thee, shalt thou speake. 8 Be not afraide of their faces: for I am with thee to deliuer thee, saith the Lord. 9 Then the Lord stretched out his hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said vnto me, Beholde, I haue put my wordes in thy mouth. 10 Beholde, this day haue I set thee ouer the nations and ouer the kingdomes to plucke vp, and to roote out, and to destroye and throwe downe, to builde, and to plant.
