Jeremiah 20:10-12
English Standard Version
Jeremiah 20:10-12
English Standard Version
10 (A)For I hear many whispering.
(B)Terror is on every side!
“Denounce him! (C)Let us denounce him!”
say all my (D)close friends,
(E)watching for (F)my fall.
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then (G)we can overcome him
and take our revenge on him.”
11 But (H)the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;
therefore my persecutors will stumble;
(I)they will not overcome me.
(J)They will be greatly shamed,
for they will not succeed.
Their (K)eternal dishonor
will never be forgotten.
12 O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous,
(L)who sees the heart and the mind,[a]
let me see your vengeance upon them,
for to you have I committed my cause.

10 I hear many whispering,
“Terror(A) on every side!
Denounce(B) him! Let’s denounce him!”
All my friends(C)
are waiting for me to slip,(D) saying,
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then we will prevail(E) over him
and take our revenge(F) on him.”

and probe the heart and mind,(K)
let me see your vengeance(L) on them,
for to you I have committed(M) my cause.
