Jer. 1:5      Jer. 1:7

Jeremiah 1:6

But I replied, "Alas (oh no), Lord God (Adonai Yahweh, the supreme almighty God, who despite his greatness is still present among his people)! I cannot speak [well enough to represent you], I am too young."
[The Hebrew word for young (Hebr. naar) is used both for infants (1 Sam. 4:21) and for young men (Gen. 14:24). Considering Jeremiah's long ministry, it is likely that he was around 20 years old when he received his calling. Humanly speaking, he was young and inexperienced.]
