Summary: The LORD calls and appoints Jeremiah as a prophet, assuring him not to fear, as the LORD will guide and speak through him, even from his youth.
The word of the LORD came to me thus:
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.
“Ah, Lord, GOD!” I said, “I know not how to speak; I am too young.”
But the LORD answered me,
Say not, “I am too young.” To whomever I send you, you shall go; whatever I command you, you shall speak. Have no fear before them, because I am with you to deliver you, says the LORD.
Then the LORD extended his hand and touched my mouth, saying, See, I place my words in your mouth!
