Jeremiah 1:6
World English Bible (WEB)
Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
In context
4 Now the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I don’t know how to speak; for I am a child.”
7 But the LORD said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for you must go to whomever I send you, and you must say whatever I command you.
8 Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says the LORD.
