The Prophet Is Called
5 “Before I1 aformed you in the womb bI knew you;
Before you were born I csanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Before you were born I csanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
7 But the Lord said to me:
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And awhatever I command you, you shall speak.
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And awhatever I command you, you shall speak.
9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and atouched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have bput My words in your mouth.
“Behold, I have bput My words in your mouth.
10 aSee, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To broot out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
To broot out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”
11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a1 branch of an almond tree.”
12 Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am1 ready to perform My word.”
