Jeremiah 20:7-9

7O LordH3068, You have deceivedH6601 me and I was deceivedH6601; You have 1overcomeH2388 me and prevailedH3201. I have becomeH1961 a 2laughingstockH7814 allH3605 dayH3117 long; EveryoneH3605 3mocksH3932 me.8For eachH1767 timeH1767 I speakH1696, I cryH2199 aloudH2199; I 4proclaimH7121 violenceH2555 and destructionH7701, BecauseH3588 for me the 5wordH1697 of the LordH3068 has 6resultedH1961 In reproachH2781 and derisionH7047 allH3605 dayH3117 long.9But if I sayH559, “I will not 7rememberH2142 Him Or speakH1696 anymoreH5750 in His nameH8034,” Then in 8my heartH3820 it becomesH1961 like a burningH1197 fireH784 ShutH6113 up in my bonesH6106; And I am wearyH3811 of holdingH3557 it in, And 9I cannotH3808 endureH3201 it.
