Jeremiah 20:7-9
Names of God Bible
Jeremiah Prays to the Lord
7 O Yahweh, you have deceived me, and I was deceived.
You overpowered me and won.
I’ve been made fun of all day long.
Everyone mocks me.
8 Each time I speak, I have to cry out and shout,
“Violence and destruction!”
The word of Yahweh has made me the object of insults
and contempt all day long.
9 I think to myself, “I can forget Yahweh
and no longer speak his name.”
But his word is inside me like a burning fire shut up in my bones.
I wear myself out holding it in, but I can’t do it any longer.
