Jeremiah 20:10-12

New International Version

¹⁰I hear many whispering,
    “Terror^(A) on every side!
    Denounce^(B) him! Let’s denounce him!”
All my friends^(C)
    are waiting for me to slip,^(D) saying,
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
    then we will prevail^(E) over him
    and take our revenge^(F) on him.”

¹¹But the Lord^(G) is with me like a mighty warrior;
    so my persecutors^(H) will stumble and not prevail.^(I)
They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;^(J)
    their dishonor will never be forgotten.
¹²Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteous
    and probe the heart and mind,^(K)
let me see your vengeance^(L) on them,
    for to you I have committed^(M) my cause.
