GOD’S WORD Translation
Jeremiah 20:10-12
GOD’S WORD Translation
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.”
11 But the Lord is on my side like a terrifying warrior.
That is why those who persecute me will stumble. They can’t win.
They will be very ashamed that they can’t succeed.
Their eternal shame will not be forgotten.
12 But the Lord of Armies examines the righteous.
He sees their motives and thoughts.
I want to see you take revenge on them,
because I’ve brought my case to you.

Jeremiah 20:10-12
New International Version
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.”
11 But the Lord(G) is with me like a mighty warrior;
so my persecutors(H) will stumble and not prevail.(I)
They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;(J)
their dishonor will never be forgotten.
12 Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteous
and probe the heart and mind,(K)
let me see your vengeance(L) on them,
for to you I have committed(M) my cause.
