and I cried to the LORD and he heard me:
My fav prophet in the bible ...
It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king
of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth
month. 4 Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5 Before I
formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out
of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the
nations. 6 Then 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. 8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with
thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9 Then the LORD put forth his
hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have
put my words in thy mouth. 10 See, I have this day set thee over the
nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to
destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
