Jeremiah 20:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ For ^(A)I have heard the whispering of many,
“^(B)Terror on every side!
^(C)Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!”
^[a]All my ^(D)trusted friends,
Watching for my fall, say:
“Perhaps he will be ^[b]deceived, so that we may ^(E)prevail against him
And take our revenge on him.”
¹¹ But the ^(F)Lord is with me like a dread champion;
Therefore my ^(G)persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be utterly ashamed, because they have ^[c]failed,
With an ^(H)everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.
¹² Yet, O Lord of hosts, You who ^(I)test the righteous,
Who see the ^[d]mind and the heart;
Let me ^(J)see Your vengeance on them;
For ^(K)to You I have set forth my cause.
