• Jeremiah 20:10, 11
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

    • 10 For I heard many evil rumors;

      Terror surrounded me.+

      “Denounce him; let us denounce him!”

      Every man wishing me peace was watching for my downfall:+

      “Perhaps he will make a foolish mistake,

      And we can prevail and take our revenge against him.”

      11 But Jehovah was with me like a fearsome warrior.+

      That is why those persecuting me will stumble and will not prevail.+

      They will be put to great shame, for they will not succeed.

      Their everlasting humiliation will not be forgotten.+
