Jeremiah 20:10-12

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁰ For I have heard the gossip of many people,
‘Terror is on every side!^(A)
Report him; let’s report him! ’
Everyone I trusted^[a] watches for my fall.^(B)
‘Perhaps he will be deceived
so that we might prevail against him
and take our vengeance on him.’
¹¹ But the Lord is with me like a violent warrior.^(C)
Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.
Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly shamed,
an everlasting humiliation that will never be forgotten.^(D)
12 Lord of Armies, testing the righteous
and seeing the heart^[b] and mind,
let me see your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to you.^(E)
