4. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5. Before I formed thee in the bowels of thy mother, I knew thee: and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee, and made thee a prophet unto the nations.
6. And I said: Ah, ah, ah, Lord God: behold, I cannot speak, for I am a child.
7. And the Lord said to me: Say not: I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee: and whatsoever I shall command thee, thou shalt speak.
