Jeremiah 20:9 in Context — Jeremiah 20
7 Persuadiste-me, ó SENHOR, e eu fiquei persuadido; mais forte foste que eu, e prevaleceste; sirvo de escárnio o dia todo; cada deles zomba de mim.
8 Pois desde que falo, grito; eu clamo violência e destruição; pois a palavra do SENHOR tem me servido de insulto e zombaria o dia todo.
9 Então eu disse: Não me lembrarei dele, nem falarei mais em seu nome; porém [ela] foi em meu coração como um fogo ardente contido em meus ossos; resisti até me cansar, mas não pude.
10 Porque ouço a murmuração de muitos, temor por todos os lados: Anunciai, e anunciaremos. Todos os meus amigos observam meu manquejar, [dizendo] : Talvez se enganará; então prevaleceremos contra ele, e nos vingaremos dele.
11 Mas o SENHOR está comigo como temível guerreiro; por isso meus perseguidores tropeçarão, e não prevalecerão; eles serão muito envergonhados, por não terem agido prudentemente; [terão] humilhação perpétua, que jamais será esquecida.
