God's Empowerment of Jeremiah

Jeremiah 1:6-10 NKJV

(6) Then said I: "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth." (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 whatever I command you, you shall speak. (8) Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you," says the LORD. (9) Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. (10) See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant."
