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.

What Does Jeremiah 1:4 Mean?
Jeremiah 1:4-5
Jeremiah had a history even before he was born! Before Jeremiah's conception, God had a plan for him. Then He formed him and set him apart as a prophet while still in the womb. God clearly infers personal human life in Jeremiah going all the way back to conception, though he was unaware of God's activity.
