Jeremiah 1:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth: and the Lord said to me: Behold I have given my words in thy mouth:

¹⁰ Lo, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root up, and pull down, and to waste, and to destroy, and to build, and to plant.

¹¹ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: I see a rod watching.
