Jeremiah 20:9

Back to Verses

Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

Then I decided not to talk about him anymore. But his words were like a fire inside me, and I couldn't hold it back any longer. I was too tired from keeping quiet, so I had to act.
