- મેં ચારે બાજુથી તેઓની ધમકીઓ સાંભળી અને મને ડર છે, તેઓ કહે છે; ‘આપણે ફરિયાદ કરીશું.’ મારા નિકટના મિત્રો મને ઠોકર ખાતા નિહાળવાને તાકે છે કે, કદાચ તે ફસાઈ જાય. અને ત્યારે આપણે તેને જીતીએ તો તેના પર આપણે વેર વાળીશું.’
- हिन्दी — यिर्मयाह २०:१०
- मैंने बहुतों के मुँह से अपनी निन्दा सुनी है। चारों ओर भय ही भय है! मेरी जान-पहचान के सब जो मेरे ठोकर खाने की बाट जोहते हैं, वे कहते हैं, “उसके दोष बताओ, तब हम उनकी चर्चा फैला देंगे। कदाचित् वह धोखा खाए, तो हम उस पर प्रबल होकर, उससे बदला लेंगे।”
In context
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.
10For I have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”
11But the LORD is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.
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.
