Jeremiah 20:11-13
English Standard Version
11 But (A)the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;
therefore my persecutors will stumble;
(B)they will not overcome me.
(C)They will be greatly shamed,
for they will not succeed.
Their (D)eternal dishonor
will never be forgotten.
12 O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous,
(E)who sees the heart and the mind,[a]
let me see your vengeance upon them,
for to you have I committed my cause.
13 (F)Sing to the Lord;
praise the Lord!
For he has delivered the life of the needy
from the hand of evildoers.
