GOD’S WORD TranslationOther versions

English

⁸“But I answered, ‘I can’t do that, Lord! I’ve never put anything impure or unclean^ainto my mouth.’

a 11:8 “Unclean” refers to anything that Moses’ Teachings say is not presentable to God.

But I said, ‘By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

“I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

“ ‘No, Lord!’ I said. ‘For nothing impure or ritually unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

“ ‘No, Lord,’ I replied. ‘I have never eaten anything that our Jewish laws have declared impure or unclean.’

But I said, ‘Certainly not, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth!’

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
