Jeremiah 20:9 CJB/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
| Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 9 But if I say, "I won't think about him, I won't speak in his name any more," then it seems as though a fire is burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones; I wear myself out trying to hold it in, but I just can't do it. | 9 But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak any more in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. |
