Jeremiah 20:7-10

7O Jehovah, thou hast persuaded me, and I wasH1961 persuaded; thou art strongerH2388 than I, and hast prevailedH3201: I amH1961 becomeH1961 a laughing-stock all the dayH3117, every one mocketh me. 8For as oftenH1767 as I speakH1696, I cryH2199 out; I cryH2199, ViolenceH2555 and destructionH7701! because the wordH1697 of Jehovah is made a reproachH2781 unto me, and a derisionH7047, all the dayH3117. 9And if I sayH559, I will not makeH2142 mention of him, nor speakH1696 any more in his nameH8034, then there is in my heartH3820 as it wereH1961 a burning fireH784 shutH6113 up in my bonesH6106, and I amH1961 wearyH3811 with forbearing, and I cannot containH3557. 10For I have heardH8085 the defaming of manyH7227, terrorH4032 on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, say all my familiar friends, they that watchH8104 for my fall; peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevailH3201 against him, and we shall takeH3947 our revenge on him.
