Jeremiah 20:10 in Context — Jeremiah 20
8 Porque desde que hablo, doy voces, grito, Violencia y destrucción: porque la palabra de Jehová me ha sido para afrenta y escarnio cada día.
9 Y dije: No me acordaré más de él, ni hablaré más en su nombre: empero fué en mi corazón como un fuego ardiente metido en mis huesos, trabajé por sufrirlo, y no pude.
10 Porque oí la murmuración de muchos, temor de todas partes: Denunciad, y denunciaremos. Todos mis amigos miraban si claudicaría. Quizá se engañará, [decían], y prevaleceremos contra él, y tomaremos de él nuestra venganza.
11 Mas Jehová está conmigo como poderoso gigante; por tanto los que me persiguen tropezarán, y no prevalecerán; serán avergonzados en gran manera, porque no prosperarán; [tendrán] perpetua confusión que jamás será olvidada.
12 Oh Jehová de los ejércitos, que sondas los justos, que ves los riñones y el corazón, vea yo tu venganza de ellos; porque á ti he descubierto mi causa.
