Contextual Overview

⁴And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,⁵"Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations." ⁶And I say, "Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth." ⁷And YHWH says to me, "Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak. ⁸Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you," a declaration of YHWH. ⁹And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, "Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. ¹⁰See, I have charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying. Not in the days of Jehoiakim, but in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah, Jeremiah 1:2. The Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions read, "unto him".

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This history of Jeremiah’s call to his office formed a part of his first address to the people. He claimed to act by an external authority, and to speak not his own words but those of Yahweh; and this even when resisting the divine call (see Jeremiah 15:13; Jeremiah 20:7, Jeremiah 20:14-18).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 1:4. The word of the Lord came unto me — Then I first felt the inspiring influence of the Divine Spirit, not only revealing to me the subjects which he would have me to declare to the people, but also the words which I should use in these declarations.
