¹¹ Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
    ^(A)I am weary of holding it in.
^(B)“Pour it out upon the children in the street,
    and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
^(C)both husband and wife ^(D)shall be taken,
    the elderly and the very aged.

⁹ If I say, “I will not mention him,
    or speak any more in his name,”
^(A)there is in my heart as it were a burning fire
    shut up in my bones,
and ^(B)I am weary with holding it in,
    and I cannot.

²¹ For death has come up into our windows;
    it has entered our palaces,
^(A)cutting off the children from the streets
    and the young men from the squares.

⁸ But as for me, ^(A)I am filled with power,
    with the Spirit of the Lord,
    and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob ^(B)his transgression
    and to Israel his sin.

¹⁸ For I am full of words;
    the spirit within me constrains me.
¹⁹ Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent;
    like new ^(A)wineskins ready to burst.
