Every time that I speak, I have to tell them bad things. I shout out that their enemies are all round them. And I shout that their enemies will fight. I shout that they will kill them. These words of yours make them angry with me. So they say bad things about me all the time. I want to keep quiet. I do not want to talk about you. I tried to do that. I said that I would not speak on your behalf. But then your words burned like a fire inside me. They did not give me any rest. I am too tired to hold them in. I cannot do it.
Jeremiah 20:8-9
我每逢講論的時候,就發出哀聲, 我喊叫說:有強暴和毀滅! 因為耶和華的話終日成了我的凌辱、譏刺。 我若說:我不再提耶和華, 也不再奉他的名講論, 我便心裏覺得 似乎有燒着的火閉塞在我骨中, 我就含忍不住,不能自禁。
耶利米書 20:8-9
