3 Veio também nos dias de Jeoaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, até o fim do décimo primeiro ano de Zedequias, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, até que Jerusalém foi levada cativa no quinto mês.

4 Veio, pois, a palavra do SENHOR a mim, dizendo:

5 Antes que te formasse no ventre eu te conheci, e antes que saísses do útero eu te santifiquei, te dei por profeta às nações.

6 E eu disse: Ah! Senhor DEUS! Eis que não sei falar, pois sou um menino.

7 Porém o SENHOR me disse: Não digas: sou menino; porque a todos a quem eu te enviar tu irás, e falarás tudo quanto eu te mandar.
