Verse 10
Jeremiah 20:10
World Messianic Bible
10
For I have heard the defaming of many,
“Terror on every side!
Denounce, and we will denounce him!”
say all my familiar friends,
those who watch for my fall.
“Perhaps he will be persuaded,
and we will prevail against him,
and we will take our revenge on him.”

For I have heard the gossip of many; terror is all around. Declare it and we will declare it. Every man, let him guard his peace. Perhaps he will be enticed, and we may prevail against him and take our revenge from him.
