Jeremiah 20:8-11

Jeremiah 20:8-11

[8] For since  I spake,  I cried out,  I cried  violence  and spoil;  because the word  of the LORD  was made a reproach  unto me, and a derision,  daily.  [9] Then I said,  I will not make mention  of him, nor speak  any more in his name.  But his word was in mine heart  as a burning  fire  shut up  in my bones,  and I was weary  with forbearing,  and I could  [10] For I heard  the defaming  of many,  fear  on every side.  Report,  it. All my familiars  watched  saying, Peradventure he will be enticed,  and we shall prevail  against him, and we shall take  our revenge  on him. [11] But the LORD  is with me as a mighty  terrible one:  therefore my persecutors  shall stumble,  and they shall not prevail:  they shall be greatly  ashamed;  for they shall not prosper:  their everlasting  confusion  shall never be forgotten.
