Jeremiah 20:8-18

For since
<01767>

I spake
<01696> (8762)_,

I cried out
<02199> (8799)_,

I cried
<07121> (8799)

violence
<02555>

and spoil
<07701>_;

because the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

was made a reproach
<02781>

unto me, and a derision
<07047>_,

daily
<03117>_.

Then I said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will not make mention
<02142> (8799)

of him, nor speak
<01696> (8762)

any more in his name
<08034>_.

But [his word] was in mine heart
<03820>

as a burning
<01197> (8802)

fire
<0784>

shut up
<06113> (8803)

in my bones
<06106>_,

and I was weary
<03811> (8738)

with forbearing
<03557> (8771)_,

and I could
<03201> (8799)

not [stay].

For I heard
<08085> (8804)

the defaming
<01681>

of many
<07227>_,

fear
<04032>

on every side
<05439>_.

Report
<05046> (8685)_,

[say they], and we will report
<05046> (8686)

it. All my familiars
<0582> <07965>

watched
<08104> (8802)

for my halting
<06763> (8676) <06761>_,

[saying], Peradventure he will be enticed
<06601> (8792)_,

and we shall prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, and we shall take
<03947> (8799)

our revenge
<05360>

on him. {All...: Heb. Every man of my peace}

But the LORD
<03068>

[is] with me as a mighty
<01368>

terrible one
<06184>_:

therefore my persecutors
<07291> (8802)

shall stumble
<03782> (8735)_,

and they shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)_:

they shall be greatly
<03966>

ashamed
<0954> (8804)_;

for they shall not prosper
<07919> (8689)_:

[their] everlasting
<05769>

confusion
<03639>

shall never be forgotten
<07911> (8735)_.

But, O LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

that triest
<0974> (8802)

the righteous
<06662>_,

[and] seest
<07200> (8802)

the reins
<03629>

and the heart
<03820>_,

let me see
<07200> (8799)

thy vengeance
<05360>

on them: for unto thee have I opened
<01540> (8765)

my cause
<07379>_.

Sing
<07891> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

praise
<01984> (8761)

ye the LORD
<03068>_:

for he hath delivered
<05337> (8689)

the soul
<05315>

of the poor
<034>

from the hand
<03027>

of evildoers
<07489> (8688)_.

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] the day
<03117>

wherein I was born
<03205> (8795)_:

let not the day
<03117>

wherein my mother
<0517>

bare
<03205> (8804)

me be blessed
<01288> (8803)_.

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] the man
<0376>

who brought tidings
<01319> (8765)

to my father
<01>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

A man
<02145>

child
<01121>

is born
<03205> (8795)

unto thee; making him very
<08055> (8763)

glad
<08055> (8765)_.

And let that man
<0376>

be as the cities
<05892>

which the LORD
<03068>

overthrew
<02015> (8804)_,

and repented
<05162> (8738)

not: and let him hear
<08085> (8804)

the cry
<02201>

in the morning
<01242>_,

and the shouting
<08643>

at noontide
<06256> <06672>_;

Because he slew
<04191> (8790)

me not from the womb
<07358>_;

or that my mother
<0517>

might have been my grave
<06913>_,

and her womb
<07358>

[to be] always
<05769>

great
<02030>

[with me].

Wherefore came I forth
<03318> (8804)

out of the womb
<07358>

to see
<07200> (8800)

labour
<05999>

and sorrow
<03015>_,

that my days
<03117>

should be consumed
<03615> (8799)

with shame
<01322>_?
