Jeremiah:20:7-18
web@Jeremiah:20:7 @ Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded; you are stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocks me.
web@Jeremiah:20:8 @ For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Yahweh is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.
web@Jeremiah:20:9 @ If I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more 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.
web@Jeremiah:20:10 @ For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
web@Jeremiah:20:11 @ But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
web@Jeremiah:20:12 @ But, Yahweh of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.
web@Jeremiah:20:13 @ Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
web@Jeremiah:20:14 @ Cursed is the day in which I was born: don't let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
web@Jeremiah:20:15 @ Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad.
web@Jeremiah:20:16 @ 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;
web@Jeremiah:20:17 @ because he didn't kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
web@Jeremiah:20:18 @ Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
