Jeremiah:20:7-18
updv@Jeremiah:20:7 @ O Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I have become a laughingstock all the day, everyone mocks me.
updv@Jeremiah:20:8 @ For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! Because the word of Yahweh has been a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.
updv@Jeremiah:20:9 @ And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak anymore in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't [contain].
updv@Jeremiah:20:10 @ For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, [say] all my friends among common man, those who watch for my fall; perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.
updv@Jeremiah:20:11 @ But Yahweh is with me as a mighty one [and] a terrible: therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they will not prevail; they will be completely put to shame, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
updv@Jeremiah:20:12 @ But, O Yahweh of hosts, that try the righteous, that see the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.
updv@Jeremiah:20:13 @ Sing to Yahweh, praise you(note:){+}(:note) Yahweh; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
updv@Jeremiah:20:14 @ Cursed be the day in which I was born: don't let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
updv@Jeremiah:20:15 @ Cursed be the man who brought good news to my father, saying, A man-child is born to you; making him very glad.
updv@Jeremiah:20:16 @ And let that man be as the cities which Yahweh overthrew, and didn't repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;
updv@Jeremiah:20:17 @ because he didn't slay me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always pregnant.
updv@Jeremiah:20:18 @ Why did I come forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
