8 For whenever I speak, I cry out,
I shout, (A)“Violence and destruction!”
For (B)the word of the Lord has become for me
(C)a reproach and (D)derision all day long.
9 If I say, “I will not mention him,
or speak any more in his name,”
(E)there is in my heart as it were a burning fire
shut up in my bones,
and (F)I am weary with holding it in,
and I cannot.
10 (G)For I hear many whispering.
(H)Terror is on every side!
“Denounce him! (I)Let us denounce him!”
say all my (J)close friends,
(K)watching for (L)my fall.
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then (M)we can overcome him
and take our revenge on him.”
11 But (N)the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;
therefore my persecutors will stumble;

for they will not succeed.
Their (Q)eternal dishonor
will never be forgotten.

The Lord Answers Jeremiah
5 “If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you,
how will you compete with horses?
And if in a safe land you are so trusting,
what will you do in (A)the thicket of the Jordan?
6 For (B)even your brothers and the house of your father,
(C)even they have dealt treacherously with you;
they are in full cry after you;
(D)do not believe them,
though they speak friendly words to you.”
Jeremiah 12:5-6
New International Version
God’s Answer
5 “If you have raced with men on foot
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble[a] in safe country,
how will you manage in the thickets(A) by[b] the Jordan?
6 Your relatives, members of your own family—
even they have betrayed you;
they have raised a loud cry against you.(B)
Do not trust them,
though they speak well of you.(C)
