Jeremiah 20:8-10
Names of God Bible
8 Each time I speak, I have to cry out and shout,
“Violence and destruction!”
The word of Yahweh has made me the object of insults
and contempt all day long.
9 I think to myself, “I can forget Yahweh
and no longer speak his name.”
But his word is inside me like a burning fire shut up in my bones.
I wear myself out holding it in, but I can’t do it any longer.
10 I have heard many people whispering,
“Terror is everywhere!
Report him! Let’s report him!”
All my closest friends are waiting to see me stumble.
They say, “Maybe he will be tricked.
Then we can overpower him and take revenge on him.”
