Jeremiah 20:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹But the Lord is with me.
    He is like a strong soldier.
So those who are chasing me will fall.
    They will not defeat me.
They will fail.
    They will be disappointed.
They will be ashamed,
    and they will never forget that shame.

¹²Lord All-Powerful, you test good people.
    You look deeply into a person’s mind.
I told you my arguments against these people.
    So let me see you give them the punishment they deserve.
¹³Sing to the Lord!
    Praise the Lord!
He saves the lives of the poor!
    He saves them from the wicked!
