Jeremiah 20:8-9

8For each time I speak, I cry aloud; I 1proclaim violence and destruction, Because for me the 2word of the Lord has 3resulted In reproach and derision all day long.9But if I say, “I will not 4remember Him Or speak anymore in His name,” Then in 5my heart it becomes like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; And I am weary of holding it in, And 6I cannot endure it.
