Jeremiah 20:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 But Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior.
Therefore[a] my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail.
They will be very ashamed, for they will not achieve success.
Their everlasting insult[b] will not be forgotten.
12 Yet, O Yahweh of hosts, who tests the righteous,
who sees the heart[c] and the mind,[d]
let me see your retribution upon them,
for to you I have revealed my legal case.
13 Sing to Yahweh, praise Yahweh,
for he has delivered the life of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
