Jeremiah 1:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³It came also in the days of ^(A)Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of ^(B)Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month.

⁴Now the word of the Lord came to me saying,

⁵“Before I ^(C)formed you in the womb I knew you,
And ^(D)before you were born I consecrated you;
I have ^(E)appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
