6 “Alas, Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”

6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

6 “O Sovereign Lord,” I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”

6 Then said I:

“Ah, Lord God!

Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”

6 Then I said, “But Lord God, I don’t know how to speak. I am only a boy.”

6 Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, I know not how to speak; for I am a child.

6 And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! behold, I cannot speak; for I am a child.

6 I, Jeremiah, said, “Almighty Lord, I do not know how to speak. I am only a boy!” 

6 But I protested, “Oh no, Lord, God! Look, I don’t know how to speak since I am only a youth.”

6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Truly I do not know how to speak, for I am only a boy.”

6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Look, I do not know how to speak, for I am a youth.”

6 “You are my Lord and King,” I said. “I don’t know how to speak. I’m only a child.”

6 Then I said, “Alas, Lord God!

Behold, I do not know how to speak,

Because I am a youth.”
