Jeremiah 20:8-10
Amplified Bible
Jeremiah 20:8-10
Amplified Bible
8
For whenever I speak, I must shout out;
I shout violence and destruction,
Because the word of the Lord has become to me
A reprimand and a mockery and has brought me insult all day long.
9
If I say, “I will not remember Him
Or speak His name anymore,”
Then my heart becomes a burning fire
Shut up in my bones.
And I am weary of enduring and holding it in;
I cannot endure it [nor contain it any longer].
10
For I have heard the whispering and defaming words of many,
“Terror on every side!
Denounce him! Let us denounce him!”
All my familiar and trusted friends,
[Those who are] watching for my fall, say,
“Perhaps he will be persuaded and deceived; then we will overcome him,
And take our revenge on him.”
Jeremiah 20:8-10
New International Version
Jeremiah 20:8-10
New International Version
8 Whenever I speak, I cry out
proclaiming violence and destruction.(A)
So the word of the Lord has brought me
insult and reproach(B) all day long.
9 But if I say, “I will not mention his word
or speak anymore in his name,”(C)
his word is in my heart like a fire,(D)
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;(E)
indeed, I cannot.
10 I hear many whispering,
“Terror(F) on every side!
Denounce(G) him! Let’s denounce him!”
All my friends(H)
are waiting for me to slip,(I) saying,
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then we will prevail(J) over him
and take our revenge(K) on him.”
