3 et au temps de Jojakim, fils de Josias, roi de Juda, jusqu’à la fin de la onzième année de Sédécias, fils de Josias, roi de Juda, jusqu’à l’époque où Jérusalem fut emmenée en captivité, au cinquième mois.
4 La parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
5 Avant que je t’eusse formé dans le ventre de ta mère, je te connaissais, et avant que tu fusses sorti de son sein, je t’avais consacré, je t’avais établi prophète des nations.
6 Je répondis: Ah! Seigneur Éternel! Voici, je ne sais point parler, car je suis un enfant.
7 Et l’Éternel me dit: Ne dis pas: Je suis un enfant. Car tu iras vers tous ceux auprès de qui je t’enverrai, et tu diras tout ce que je t’ordonnerai.
