Jeremiah 20:12

8For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because the LORD’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.

9If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.

12But the LORD of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.

13Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

14Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.

15Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.

16Let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
