Fire Shut Up In My Bones

 

The Prophet Jeremiah has prophesied over Jerusalem and Judah the things that God told him to say.  Jeremiah was very mistreated as a result and said the following:

 Jer. 20

20:7 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.

20:8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.

20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay  (could no longer hold God’s word in).
