Jeremiah 20:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ But the Lord is with me like a fearsome warrior.
    Therefore, those who pursue me will stumble
        and won’t prevail.
They’ll be put to great shame,
    when they don’t succeed.
        Their everlasting disgrace won’t be forgotten.
¹² Lord of the Heavenly Armies,
    who tests the righteous,
    who sees the inner motives^[a] and the heart,
let me see you take vengeance on them,
    for I’ve committed my case to you.
¹³ Sing to the Lord,
    give praise to the Lord!
For he saves the life of the poor
    from the hand of the wicked.
