Jeremiah 20:10-12
New Century Version
Jeremiah 20:10-12
New Century Version
10 I hear many people whispering about me:
“Terror on every side!
Tell on him! Let’s tell the rulers about him.”
My friends are all just waiting for me to make some mistake.
They are saying,
“Maybe we can trick him
so we can defeat him
and pay him back.”
11 But the Lord is with me like a strong warrior,
so those who are chasing me will trip and fall;
they will not defeat me.
They will be ashamed because they have failed,
and their shame will never be forgotten.
12 Lord All-Powerful, you test good people;
you look deeply into the heart and mind of a person.
I have told you my arguments against these people,
so let me see you give them the punishment they deserve.

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.
