Jeremiah 20:7-18

7O LORDH3068, thou hast deceivedH6601 me, and I was deceivedH6601: thou art strongerH2388 than I, and hast prevailedH3201: I am in derisionH7814 dailyH3117, every one mockethH3932 me.1 8For sinceH1767 I spokeH1696, I cried outH2199, I criedH7121 violenceH2555 and spoilH7701; because the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was made a reproachH2781 to me, and a derisionH7047, dailyH3117. 9Then I saidH559, I will not make mentionH2142 of him, nor speakH1696 any more in his nameH8034. But his word was in my heartH3820 as a burningH1197 fireH784 shut upH6113 in my bonesH6106, and I was wearyH3811 with forbearingH3557, and I couldH3201 not refrain . 10For I heardH8085 the defamingH1681 of manyH7227, fearH4032 on every sideH5439. ReportH5046, say they, and we will reportH5046 it. All my friendsH582H7965 watchedH8104 for my fallH6763H6761, saying, Perhaps he will be enticedH6601, and we shall prevailH3201 against him, and we shall takeH3947 our revengeH5360 on him.2 11But the LORDH3068 is with me as a mightyH1368 terrible oneH6184: therefore my persecutorsH7291 shall stumbleH3782, and they shall not prevailH3201: they shall be greatlyH3966 ashamedH954; for they shall not prosperH7919: their everlastingH5769 confusionH3639 shall never be forgottenH7911. 12But, O LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that triestH974 the righteousH6662, and seestH7200 the reinsH3629 and the heartH3820, let me seeH7200 thy vengeanceH5360 on them: for to thee have I openedH1540 my causeH7379. 13SingH7891 to the LORDH3068, praiseH1984 ye the LORDH3068: for he hath deliveredH5337 the soulH5315 of the poorH34 from the handH3027 of evildoersH7489.

14CursedH779be the dayH3117 when I was bornH3205: let not the dayH3117 when my motherH517 boreH3205 me be blessedH1288. 15CursedH779 be the manH376 who brought tidingsH1319 to my fatherH1, sayingH559, A sonH2145H1121 is bornH3205 to thee; making him veryH8055 gladH8055. 16And let that manH376 be as the citiesH5892 which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015, and repentedH5162 not: and let him hearH8085 the cryH2201 in the morningH1242, and the shoutingH8643 at noonH6256H6672; 17Because he slewH4191 me not in the wombH7358; or that my motherH517 might have been my graveH6913, and her wombH7358 to be alwaysH5769 greatH2030 with me . 18Why was I broughtH3318 out of the wombH7358 to seeH7200 labourH5999 and sorrowH3015, that my daysH3117 should be consumedH3615 with shameH1322?
