But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

The verse 7 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.

Der HERR sprach aber zu mir: Sage nicht: "Ich bin zu jung"; sondern du sollst gehen, wohin ich dich sende, und predigen, was ich dich heiße.
Y díjome Jehová: No digas, soy niño; porque a todo lo que te enviaré irás tú, y dirás todo lo que te mandaré.
Pero Jehová me dijo: «No digas: “Soy un muchacho”, porque irás adondequiera que te envíe y dirás todo lo que te ordene.
Et l'Eternel me dit: Ne dis pas: Je suis un enfant. Car tu iras vers tous ceux auprès de qui je t'enverrai, et tu diras tout ce que je t'ordonnerai.
E il Signore mi disse: Non dire: Io son fanciullo; perciocchè tu andrai dovunque io ti manderò, e dirai tutte le cose che io ti comanderò.
Mas o SENHOR me disse: Não digas: Eu sou um menino; porque a todos a quem eu te enviar, irás; e tudo quanto te mandar, falarás.
耶和華對我說: 「不要說:『我年輕』, 因為我差遣你到誰那裏去,你都要去; 我吩咐你說甚麼話,你都要說。
