Jeremiah 20:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 For whenever I speak, I cry out,
I proclaim, “Violence and destruction!”(A)
because the word of the Lord has become for me
constant disgrace and derision.
9 If I say, “I won’t mention Him
or speak any longer in His name,”
His message becomes a fire burning in my heart,(B)
shut up in my bones.
I become tired of holding it in,
and I cannot prevail.
10 For I have heard the gossip of many people,
“Terror is on every side![a](C)
Report him; let’s report him!”
Everyone I trusted[b] watches for my fall.(D)
“Perhaps he will be deceived
so that we might prevail against him
and take our vengeance on him.”
