Jeremiah 20:7-9

Legacy Standard Bible

⁷ O Yahweh, You have enticed me, and I was enticed;
You were ^(A)stronger than I, and You prevailed.
I have become a ^(B)laughingstock all day long;
Everyone ^(C)mocks me.
⁸ For each time I speak, I cry aloud;
I ^(D)call out violence and devastation
Because for me the ^(E)word of Yahweh has ^[a]resulted
In reproach and derision all day long.
⁹ But if I say, “I will not ^(F)remember Him
Or speak anymore in His name,”
Then in ^(G)my heart it becomes like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
And I am weary of holding it in,
And ^(H)I cannot prevail.
