“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5 GW
Then the Lord stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. The Lord said to me, “Now I have put my words in your mouth. Today I have put you in charge of nations and kingdoms. You will uproot and tear down. You will destroy and overthrow. You will build and plant.” Jeremiah 1:9-10 GW
Today I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and a bronze wall. You will be able to stand up to the whole land.

I am with you, and I will rescue you,” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 1:18-19 GW
