Jeremiah 1:6
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!”
In context
4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
6 “Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!”
7 But the LORD told me: “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must speak.
8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
