Jeremiah 20:7-9

7Lord, you forced me to become a prophet, and I let you do that. You used your power to make me agree, and you won. Now everybody laughs at me and they insult me.

8When I speak your message, I have to say, ‘Terrible trouble is coming!’ When I shout that message from the Lord, people laugh at me. They insult me.

9Sometimes I think, ‘I will say nothing about the Lord or his message.’ But then his message burns like a fire inside me. It gives me pain in my mind and my body. I cannot keep his message to myself. I have to speak it.
