When I speak your message, I have to say,
‘Terrible trouble is coming!’
When I shout that message from the LORD,
people laugh at me. They insult me.
Sometimes I think,
‘I will say nothing about the LORD or his message.’
But then his message burns like a fire inside me.
It gives me pain in my mind and my body.
I cannot keep his message to myself.
I have to speak it.
