Because from the time I speak I cry out, ‘Violence and destruction,’ I cry, For the word of JEHOVAH hath been to me For reproach and for derision all the day.
And I said, ‘I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak any more in His name,’ And it hath been in my heart As a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I am not able.
