Jeremiah 1:6-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 “Ah, Lord God!” I said,
“I do not know how to speak. I am too young!”[a]
7 But the Lord answered me,
Do not say, “I am too young.”
To whomever I send you, you shall go;
whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of them,
for I am with you to deliver you—oracle of the Lord.
9 Then the Lord extended his hand and touched my mouth, saying to me,
See, I place my words in your mouth!(A)
10 Today I appoint you
over nations and over kingdoms,
To uproot and to tear down,
to destroy and to demolish,
to build and to plant.
Luke 12:11-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities,(A) do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. 12 For the holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.”
