Jeremiah 20:11-13
New King James Version
11 But the Lord is (A)with me as a mighty, awesome One.
Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not (B)prevail.
They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper.
Their (C)everlasting confusion will never be forgotten.
12 But, O Lord of hosts,
You who (D)test the righteous,
And see the [a]mind and heart,
(E)Let me see Your vengeance on them;
For I have pleaded my cause before You.
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord!
For (F)He has delivered the life of the poor
From the hand of evildoers.

Jeremiah 20:11-13
Authorized (King James) Version
11 But the Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one:
therefore my persecutors shall stumble,
and they shall not prevail:
they shall be greatly ashamed;
for they shall not prosper:
their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
12 But, O Lord of hosts, that triest the righteous,
and seest the reins and the heart,
let me see thy vengeance on them:
for unto thee have I opened my cause.
13 Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord:
for he hath delivered the soul of the poor
from the hand of evildoers.
