Jeremiah 20:7-18

O LORD
<03068>_,
thou hast deceived
<06601> (8765)
me, and I was deceived
<06601> (8735)_:
thou art stronger
<02388> (8804)
than I, and hast prevailed
<03201> (8799)_:
I am in derision
<07814>
daily
<03117>_,
every one mocketh
<03932> (8802)
me. {was deceived: or, was enticed}
For since
<01767>
I spake
<01696> (8762)_,
I cried out
<02199> (8799)_,
I cried
<07121> (8799)
violence
<02555>
and spoil
<07701>_;
because the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
was made a reproach
<02781>
unto me, and a derision
<07047>_,
daily
<03117>_.
Then I said
<0559> (8804)_,
I will not make mention
<02142> (8799)
of him, nor speak
<01696> (8762)
any more in his name
<08034>_.
But [his word] was in mine heart
<03820>
as a burning
<01197> (8802)
fire
<0784>
shut up
<06113> (8803)
in my bones
<06106>_,
and I was weary
<03811> (8738)
with forbearing
<03557> (8771)_,
and I could
<03201> (8799)
not [stay].
For I heard
<08085> (8804)
the defaming
<01681>
of many
<07227>_,
fear
<04032>
on every side
<05439>_.
Report
<05046> (8685)_,
[say they], and we will report
<05046> (8686)
it. All my familiars
<0582> <07965>
watched
<08104> (8802)
for my halting
<06763> (8676) <06761>_,
[saying], Peradventure he will be enticed
<06601> (8792)_,
and we shall prevail
<03201> (8799)
against him, and we shall take
<03947> (8799)
our revenge
<05360>
on him. {All...: Heb. Every man of my peace}
But the LORD
<03068>
[is] with me as a mighty
<01368>
terrible one
<06184>_:
therefore my persecutors
<07291> (8802)
shall stumble
<03782> (8735)_,
and they shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)_:
they shall be greatly
<03966>
ashamed
<0954> (8804)_;
for they shall not prosper
<07919> (8689)_:
[their] everlasting
<05769>
confusion
<03639>
shall never be forgotten
<07911> (8735)_.
But, O LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
that triest
<0974> (8802)
the righteous
<06662>_,
[and] seest
<07200> (8802)
the reins
<03629>
and the heart
<03820>_,
let me see
<07200> (8799)
thy vengeance
<05360>
on them: for unto thee have I opened
<01540> (8765)
my cause
<07379>_.
Sing
<07891> (8798)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
praise
<01984> (8761)
ye the LORD
<03068>_:
for he hath delivered
<05337> (8689)
the soul
<05315>
of the poor
<034>
from the hand
<03027>
of evildoers
<07489> (8688)_.
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the day
<03117>
wherein I was born
<03205> (8795)_:
let not the day
<03117>
wherein my mother
<0517>
bare
<03205> (8804)
me be blessed
<01288> (8803)_.
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the man
<0376>
who brought tidings
<01319> (8765)
to my father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
A man
<02145>
child
<01121>
is born
<03205> (8795)
unto thee; making him very
<08055> (8763)
glad
<08055> (8765)_.
And let that man
<0376>
be as the cities
<05892>
which the LORD
<03068>
overthrew
<02015> (8804)_,
and repented
<05162> (8738)
not: and let him hear
<08085> (8804)
the cry
<02201>
in the morning
<01242>_,
and the shouting
<08643>
at noontide
<06256> <06672>_;
Because he slew
<04191> (8790)
me not from the womb
<07358>_;
or that my mother
<0517>
might have been my grave
<06913>_,
and her womb
<07358>
[to be] always
<05769>
great
<02030>
[with me].
Wherefore came I forth
<03318> (8804)
out of the womb
<07358>
to see
<07200> (8800)
labour
<05999>
and sorrow
<03015>_,
that my days
<03117>
should be consumed
<03615> (8799)
with shame
<01322>_?
