Jeremiah 20:9-11
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 If I say, I will not make mention of [the Lord] or speak any more in His name, in my mind and heart it is as if there were a burning fire shut up in my bones. And I am weary of enduring and holding it in; I cannot [contain it any longer].
10 For I have heard many whispering and defaming, [There is] terror on every side! Denounce him! Let us denounce him! Say all my familiar friends, they who watch for my fall, Perhaps he will be persuaded and deceived; then we will prevail against him, and we will get our revenge on him.
11 But the Lord is with me as a mighty and terrible One; therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they will not overcome [me]. They will be utterly put to shame, for they will not deal wisely or prosper [in their schemes]; their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.

Jeremiah 20:9-11
New International Version
9 But if I say, “I will not mention his word
or speak anymore in his name,”(A)
his word is in my heart like a fire,(B)
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;(C)
indeed, I cannot.
10 I hear many whispering,
“Terror(D) on every side!
Denounce(E) him! Let’s denounce him!”
All my friends(F)
are waiting for me to slip,(G) saying,
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then we will prevail(H) over him
and take our revenge(I) on him.”
