Parallel JER 20:9

---

BSB  ⇔ If I say, “I will not mention Him
⇔ or speak any more in His name,”
 ⇔ His message becomes a fire burning in my heart,
⇔ shut up in my bones,
 ⇔ and I become weary of holding it in,
⇔ and I cannot prevail.

OEB When I vow to put it out my mind
⇔ And to speak in His name no more,
 ⇔ It doth burn in my heart like a fire
⇔ Shut up within my bones;
 ⇔ I am weary of enduring,
⇔ and I can bear it no more.

WEB If I say that I will not make mention of him,
⇔ or speak any more in his name,
 ⇔ then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones.
⇔ I am weary with holding it in.
⇔ I can’t.

NET Sometimes I think, “I will make no mention of his message.
 ⇔ I will not speak as his messenger any more.”
 ⇔ But then his message becomes like a fire
 ⇔ locked up inside of me, burning in my heart and soul.
 ⇔ I grow weary of trying to hold it in;
 ⇔ I cannot contain it.

LSV And I said, “I do not mention Him,
Nor do I speak anymore in His Name,”
And it has 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.

FBV If I tell myself, “I won't talk about him anymore, I won't even mention his name,” then his message is like a fire trapped within me, burning me from the inside out. I'm getting tired of holding it in. I just can't win.

T4T But if I would say, ‘I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him, [MTY]’
⇔ it would be as though your message would burn in my inner being like [SIM] a fire;
⇔ it would be like a fire in my bones.
 ⇔ Sometimes I try to remain silent and not proclaim your messages,
⇔ but I am not able to do that.

LEB  • if I say, “I will not mention him and I will no longer speak in his name,” •  then it becomes in my heart like a fire burning, •  locked up in my bones, •  and I struggle to contain it,[fn] • and I am not able.

BBE And if I say, I will not keep him in mind, I will not say another word in his name; then it is in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am tired of keeping myself in, I am not able to do it.
