Each time I speak, I have to cry out and shout,
“Violence and destruction!”
The LORD’s word has made me the object of insults
and contempt all day long.
I think to myself, “I can forget the LORD
and no longer speak his name.”
But ⌞his word⌟ is inside me like a burning fire shut up in my bones.
I wear myself out holding it in, but I can’t do it any longer.
