Jeremiah 20:7-10

7O LORDH3068, thou hast deceived meH2388, and I was deceived: thou art strongerH2388 thanH3605 I, and hast prevailedH3201: I am becomeH1961 a laughingstockH7814 allH3605 the dayH3117, everyH3605 one mocketh meH2388.

8For as oftenH1767 as I speakH1696, I cryH2199 outH2199; I cryH2199, ViolenceH2555 and spoil: becauseH3588 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is madeH1696 a reproachH2781 unto meH7121, and a derisionH7047, allH3605 the dayH3117.

9And ifH1961 I sayH559, I will notH3808 makeH2142 mentionH2142 of him, norH3808 speakH1696 anyH5750 moreH5750 in his nameH8034, then there is in mine heartH3820 as it were a burningH784 fireH784 shutH6113 upH1961 in my bonesH6106, and I am wearyH3811 with forbearing, and I cannotH3808 containH3557.

10For I have heardH8085 the defaming of manyH7227, terrorH4032 on everyH3605 sideH5439. DenounceH5046, and weH3588 will denounceH5046 him, say allH3605 my familiar friendsH582, they that watchH8104 for my halting; peradventure he will be enticedH6601, and weH3588 shall prevailH3201 againstH4480 him, and weH3588 shall takeH3947 our revengeH5360 on him.
