Jeremiah 1:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ “You are my Lord and King,” I said. “I don’t know how to speak. I’m too young.”

⁷ But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I’m too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to. You must say everything I command you to say. ⁸ Do not be afraid of the people I send you to. I am with you. I will save you,” announces the Lord.
