4The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

5Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you came out from the womb, I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.

6Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth.”

7But Yahweh said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and all that I command you, you shall speak.”

8Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares Yahweh.
