⁶Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

⁷¶ But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

⁵Before I ^*formed thee in the bellie, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the wombe, I ^*sanctified thee, and I ^†ordeined thee a Prophet vnto the nations.
