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

Jeremiah 1

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.

9 Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.

10 See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms
to uproot and tear down,
to destroy and overthrow,
to build and plant.”

11 And the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”
“I see a branch of an almond tree,” I replied.

12 “You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watchinga over My word to accomplish it.”
