Jeremiah 20:9

Sometimes I think:
"I will not mention [the Lord's name] or speak [prophesy] in his name,"
but then his message becomes like a fire shut up within me (in my bones).
I tried to hold it back (endure it), but I could not hold it back any longer.

וְאָמַרְתִּי   לֹא   אֶזְכְּרֶנּוּ   וְלֹא   אֲדַבֵּר   עוֹד   בִּשְׁמוֹ   וְהָיָה   בְלִבִּי   כְּאֵשׁ   בֹּעֶרֶת   עָצֻר   בְּעַצְמֹתָי   וְנִלְאֵיתִי   כַּלְכֵל   וְלֹא   אוּכָל

καὶ εἶπα οὐ μὴ ὀνομάσω τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου καὶ οὐ μὴ λαλήσω ἔτι ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς πῦρ καιόμενον φλέγον ἐν τοῖς ὀστέοις μου καὶ παρεῖμαι πάντοθεν καὶ οὐ δύναμαι φέρειν
