Jeremiah 20:12
Berean Standard Bible
O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous, who sees the heart * and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
Context
10For I have heard the whispering of many:
“Terror is on every side!
Report him; let us report him!”
All my trusted friends
watch for my fall:
“Perhaps he will be deceived
so that we may prevail against him
and take our vengeance upon him.” 11But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior.
Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail.
Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame,
with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten. 12O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous,
who sees the heart * and mind,
let me see Your vengeance upon them,
for to You I have committed my cause. 13Sing to the LORD!
Praise the LORD!
For He rescues the life of the needy
from the hands of evildoers. 14Cursed be the day I was born!
May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.
