Jeremiah 20:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 If I say, “I will not mention him
or speak any longer in his name,”
within me I experience a fire burning in my heart
and imprisoned in my bones.
I am weary holding it in,
and I can no longer do so.
10 For I hear many whispering,
“Terror surrounds us.
Denounce him! Let us denounce him!”
All those who were my close friends
are waiting for me to stumble, saying,
“Perhaps we can trick him,
and we will be able to prevail
and take our revenge against him.”
11 But the Lord is at my side
like a mighty warrior.
Therefore, my persecutors will stumble,
and they will not prevail.
Because of their failure,
they will be greatly shamed,
and the disgrace that they will endure
will be everlasting and unforgettable.

Jeremiah 20:9-11
New International Version
9 But if I say, “I will not mention his word
or speak anymore in his name,”(A)
his word is in my heart like a fire,(B)
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;(C)
indeed, I cannot.
10 I hear many whispering,
“Terror(D) on every side!
Denounce(E) him! Let’s denounce him!”
All my friends(F)
are waiting for me to slip,(G) saying,
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then we will prevail(H) over him
and take our revenge(I) on him.”
