Jeremiah 20:9

Read Full Chapter
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.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can’t.
World English Bible (WEB)
Then I said{H559}{(H8804)}, I will not make mention{H2142}{(H8799)} of him, nor speak{H1696}{(H8762)} any more in his name{H8034}. But his word was in mine heart{H3820} as a burning{H1197}{(H8802)} fire{H784} shut up{H6113}{(H8803)} in my bones{H6106}, and I was weary{H3811}{(H8738)} with forbearing{H3557}{(H8771)}, and I could{H3201}{(H8799)} not stay.
