Yeremia 20:10-13
(10) Aku telah mendengar bisikan banyak orang: "Kegentaran datang dari segala jurusan! Adukanlah dia! Kita mau mengadukan dia!" Semua orang sahabat karibku mengintai apakah aku tersandung jatuh: "Barangkali ia membiarkan dirinya dibujuk, sehingga kita dapat mengalahkan dia dan dapat melakukan pembalasan kita terhadap dia!"
(11) Tetapi TUHAN menyertai aku seperti pahlawan yang gagah, sebab itu orang-orang yang mengejar aku akan tersandung jatuh dan mereka tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa. Mereka akan menjadi malu sekali, sebab mereka tidak berhasil, suatu noda yang selama-lamanya tidak terlupakan!
(12) Ya TUHAN semesta alam, yang menguji orang benar, yang melihat batin dan hati, biarlah aku melihat pembalasanMu terhadap mereka, sebab kepadaMulah kuserahkan perkaraku.
(13) Menyanyilah untuk TUHAN, pujilah TUHAN! Sebab ia telah melepaskan nyawa orang miskin dari tangan orang-orang yang berbuat jahat.
Jeremiah 20:10-13
(10) For I heard the insults of many, and terror all around: 'Persecute him!' and, 'Let us persecute him!' from all the men who had been at peace with me and who had kept watch by my side. 'If only there were some way that he might be deceived, and we might prevail against him and obtain vengeance from him!'
(11) But the Lord is with me, like a strong warrior. For this reason, those who persecute me will fall, and they will be ineffective. They will be greatly confounded. For they have not understood the everlasting disgrace that will never be wiped away.
(12) And you, O Lord of hosts, the Tester of the just, who sees the temperament and the heart: I beg you to let me see your vengeance upon them. For I have revealed my case to you.
(13) Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.” (CPDV)
