Jeremiah 20:7-9

7O Lord, you misled me, and I allowed myself to be misled. You are stronger than I am, and you overpowered me. Now I am mocked every day; everyone laughs at me.

8When I speak, the words burst out. “Violence and destruction!” I shout. So these messages from the Lord have made me a household joke.

9But if I say I’ll never mention the Lord or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it!
