Jeremiah 20:11

But, Yahweh, is with me, as a mighty one striking terror, For this cause, shall my persecutors stumble and not prevail,—They have turned very pale, For they have not prospered, Confusion age-abiding, it shall not be forgotten!

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

In Context

10Because I have heard the whispering of many—"A terror round about!" Tell ye [say they], that we may tell of him, All the men I am wont to salute do watch for my halting,—Peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail over him, and take our vengeance upon him.

12But O Yahweh of hosts—Testing the righteous Beholding the affections and the heart,—Let me see thine avenging upon them, For unto thee, have I laid bare my cause.

Matthew Henry on Jeremiah 20:8-14

The Prophet's Impatient Appeal. ( b. c. 600.) 7 O Lord , thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me. 8 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. 9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name.
