Jer_1:9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

Ver. 9. Then the Lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth.] This was a very great favour and a sweet settlement to the hesitating prophet. The like visible sign for confirmation was given to Isaiah; {Isa_6:7} to Ezekiel; {Eze_2:8; Eze_3:2-3} and to John the divine; {Rev_10:10} how much are we bound to God for his word and sacraments?

Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.] And in thy mind also, together with good courage for the better uttering of them. Fear not, therefore, though thou be, as thou objectest, infantissimus et infirmissimus; but "go in this my might," and preach lustily.
