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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 9 is found in chapter 20 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah expresses one of the book’s most intense confessions: he feels seduced by the mission while being humiliated by its consequences. God’s word is like a fire shut up in his bones, impossible to contain. Yet the lament ends in an existential crisis, showing the psychological and spiritual cost of prophetic ministry without turning suffering into a lack of faith.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
