Jeremiah 1:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ Don’t be afraid of anyone, because I am with you to protect you,” says the Lord.

⁹ Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth. He said to me, “See, I am putting my words in your mouth. ¹⁰ Today I have put you in charge of nations and kingdoms. You will pull up and tear down, destroy and overthrow, build up and plant.”
