The verse 6 is found in chapter 1 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah begins by identifying his ministry within the history of the kings of Judah and presenting his prophetic calling. God declares that he knew the prophet before forming him and had set him apart for a mission among the nations. Divine election precedes human ability, and Jeremiah’s objection concerning his youth contrasts with the authority God grants him.

Ich aber sprach: Ach Herr, HERR, ich tauge nicht, zu predigen; denn ich bin zu jung.
Y yo dije: ¡Ah! ¡ah! ¡Señor Jehová! He aquí, no sé hablar, porque soy niño.
Yo respondí: «¡Ah, Señor Jehová! Mira, no sé hablar, porque soy un muchacho».
Je répondis: Ah! Seigneur Eternel! voici, je ne sais point parler, car je suis un enfant.
Ed io risposi: Ahi! Signore Iddio! ecco, io non so parlare; perciocchè io son fanciullo.
Então disse eu: Ah, Senhor DEUS! Eis que não sei falar; porque ainda sou um menino.
我就說:「唉,主耶和華!看哪,我不知道怎麼說,因為我年輕。」
