Jer 1:6  "Alas, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am too young." 

Jer 1:7  But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am too young.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 

Jer 1:8  Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD. 

Jer 1:9  Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "I have put my words in your mouth. 

Jer 1:10  See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant." 

Jer 26:8  But as soon as Jeremiah finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests, the prophets and all the people seized him and said, "You must die! 

Jer 26:9  Why do you prophesy in the LORD's name that this house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted?" And all the people crowded around Jeremiah in the house of the LORD. 

Jer 26:12  Then Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people: "The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and this city all the things you have heard. 

Jer 26:13  Now reform your ways and your actions and obey the LORD your God. Then the LORD will relent and not bring the disaster he has pronounced against you. 

Jer 26:14  As for me, I am in your hands; do with me whatever you think is good and right. 

Jer 26:15  Be assured, however, that if you put me to death, you will bring the guilt of innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and on those who live in it, for in truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your hearing." 

Jeremiah Spared from Death

Jer 26:16  Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, "This man should not be sentenced to death! He has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God."
