Jeremiah 20:9
If 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.Jeremiah 20:9 · WEB

- હું જો એમ કહું કે, ‘હવે હું યહોવાહ વિષે વિચારીશ નહિ અને તેમનું નામ હું નહિ બોલું.’ તો જાણે મારા હાડકામાં બળતો અગ્નિ સમાયેલો હોય એવી પીડા મારા હૃદયમાં થાય છે. અને ચૂપ રહેતાં મને કંટાળો આવે છે. હું બોલ્યા વગર રહી શકતો નથી.
- हिन्दी — यिर्मयाह २०:९
- यदि मैं कहूँ, “मैं उसकी चर्चा न करूँगा न उसके नाम से बोलूँगा,” तो मेरे हृदय की ऐसी दशा होगी मानो मेरी हड्डियों में धधकती हुई आग हो, और मैं अपने को रोकते-रोकते थक गया पर मुझसे रहा नहीं जाता। (1 कुरि. 9:16)
In context
7LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.
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.
