Jeremiah 20:8

Next

For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.

For since {H1767} I spake {H1696}, I cried out {H2199}, I cried {H7121} violence {H2555} and spoil {H7701}; because the word {H1697} of the LORD {H3068} was made a reproach {H2781} unto me, and a derision {H7047}, daily {H3117}.

Whenever I speak, I have to cry out; I shout, "Violence!" and "Destruction!" Thus the word of ADONAI becomes for me the cause of reproach and derision all day!

For whenever I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and destruction. For the word of the LORD has become to me a reproach and derision all day long.

For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, Violence and destruction! because the word of Jehovah is made a reproach unto me, and a derision, all the day.
