18  For I am full of words;

the spirit within me constrains me.

11  Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord;

^uI am weary of holding it in.

^v“Pour it out upon the children in the street,

and upon the gatherings of young men, also;

^wboth husband and wife ^xshall be taken,

the elderly and the very aged.

9  If I say, “I will not mention him,

or speak any more in his name,”

^zthere is in my heart as it were a burning fire

shut up in my bones,

and ^aI am weary with holding it in,

and I cannot.

8  The lion has roared;

who will not fear?

^pThe Lord God has spoken;

who can but prophesy?”
