Jeremiah 20:11-13
Amplified Bible
11
But the Lord is with me as a dread champion [one to be greatly feared];
Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not overcome [me].
They will be completely shamed, for they have not acted wisely and have failed [in their schemes];
Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.
12
But, O Lord of hosts, You who examine the righteous,
Who see the heart and the mind,
Let me see Your vengeance on them;
For to You I have committed my cause.
13
Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord!
For He has rescued the life of the needy one
From the hand of evildoers.
Jeremiah 20:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 But the (A)Lord is with me like a powerful champion;
Therefore my (B)persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be put to great shame because they have [a]failed,
An (C)everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.
12 Yet, Lord of armies, who (D)tests the righteous,
Who sees the [b]mind and the heart;
Let me (E)see Your vengeance on them,
For (F)to You I have disclosed my cause.
13 (G)Sing to the Lord, praise the Lord!
For He has (H)saved the soul of the needy one
From the hand of evildoers.
