- Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
- But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
- Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
- Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
- See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

- "Ah, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child."
- But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.
- Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.
- Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth.
- See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."
