Overview & Insights
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you." (Jeremiah 1:5)
The Lord calls Jeremiah, telling him he was known and set apart as a prophet before birth. When Jeremiah protests that he is only a youth, God touches his mouth and appoints him over nations to pluck up and to build.
