Jeremiah 1:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Do not be afraid of them,
for I am with you to deliver you,
says the Lord.”

“Now I have put my words in your mouth.
¹⁰ See, today I appoint you over nations and over kingdoms,
to pluck up and to pull down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.”
