Jeremiah 20:7-9

World English Bible

⁷ Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded.
    You are stronger than I, and have prevailed.
I have become a laughingstock all day.
    Everyone mocks me.
⁸ For as often as I speak, I cry out;
    I cry, “Violence and destruction!”
because Yahweh’s word has been made a reproach to me,
    and a derision, all day.
⁹ If I say, I will not make mention of him,
    or speak any more in his name,
then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones.
    I am weary with holding it in.
    I can’t.
