Jeremiah 20:10-12

English Standard Version

^10 (A)For I hear many whispering.
    ^(B)Terror is on every side!
“Denounce him! ^(C)Let us denounce him!”
    say all my ^(D)close friends,
    ^(E)watching for ^(F)my fall.
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
    then ^(G)we can overcome him
    and take our revenge on him.”
¹¹ But ^(H)the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;
    therefore my persecutors will stumble;
    ^(I)they will not overcome me.
^(J)They will be greatly shamed,
    for they will not succeed.
Their ^(K)eternal dishonor
    will never be forgotten.
¹² O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous,
    ^(L)who sees the heart and the mind,^[a]
let me see your vengeance upon them,
    for to you have I committed my cause.
