Jeremiah 20:7-9
Authorized (King James) Version
Jeremiah 20:7-9
Authorized (King James) Version
7 O Lord, thou hast deceived me,
and I was deceived:
thou art stronger than I,
and hast prevailed:
I am in derision daily,
every one mocketh me.
8 For since I spake, I cried out,
I cried violence and spoil;
because the word of the Lord
was made a reproach unto me,
and a derision, daily.
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him,
nor speak any more in his name.
But his word was in mine heart
as a burning fire shut up in my bones,
and I was weary with forbearing,
and I could not stay.
