Jeremiah 20:11-13
The Message
11 But God, a most fierce warrior, is at my side.
Those who are after me will be sent sprawling—
Slapstick buffoons falling all over themselves,
a spectacle of humiliation no one will ever forget.
12 Oh, God-of-the-Angel-Armies, no one fools you.
You see through everyone, everything.
I want to see you pay them back for what they’ve done.
I rest my case with you.
13 Sing to God! All praise to God!
He saves the weak from the grip of the wicked.

Jeremiah 20:11-13
New International Version
11 But the Lord(A) is with me like a mighty warrior;
so my persecutors(B) will stumble and not prevail.(C)
They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;(D)
their dishonor will never be forgotten.
12 Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteous
and probe the heart and mind,(E)
let me see your vengeance(F) on them,
for to you I have committed(G) my cause.
