Jeremiah 20:10-12
Legacy Standard Bible
10 For (A)I have heard the bad report of many,
“(B)Terror on every side!
(C)Denounce him; yes, let us denounce him!”
[a]All my (D)trusted friends,
Keeping watch 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 (F)Yahweh is with me like a ruthless mighty one;
Therefore my (G)persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
They will be utterly ashamed, because they have not prospered,
With an (H)everlasting dishonor that will not be forgotten.
12 Yet, O Yahweh of hosts, You who (I)test the righteous,
Who see the [c]mind and the heart;
Let me (J)see Your vengeance on them,
For (K)to You I have revealed my cause.

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.
