⁸ For whenever I speak, I cry out,
    I shout, ^(A)“Violence and destruction!”
For ^(B)the word of the Lord has become for me
    ^(C)a reproach and ^(D)derision all day long.

⁹ If I say, “I will not mention him,
    or speak any more in his name,”
^(A)there is in my heart as it were a burning fire
    shut up in my bones,
and ^(B)I am weary with holding it in,
    and I cannot.
