5 “Before I aformed you in the innermost parts I knew you,
And bbefore you came out from the womb I set you apart;
I have cgiven you as a prophet to the nations.”
6 Then aI said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh!
Behold, I do not know how to speak
Because bI am a youth.”
7 But Yahweh said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
aBecause everywhere I send you, you shall go,
And ball that I command you, you shall speak.
