Jeremiah 1:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ Then I said, “But Lord God, I don’t know how to speak. I am only a boy.”

⁷ But the Lord said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am only a boy.’ You must go everywhere that I send you. You must say everything I tell you to say. ⁸ Don’t be afraid of anyone, because I am with you. I will protect you,” says the Lord.
