Jeremiah 20:9
Douay-Rheims
Then I said: I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: and there came in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was wearied, not being able to bear it.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
his word was--or literally, "there was in my heart, as it were, a burning fire," that is, the divine afflatus or impulse to speak was as . . . (Job 32:18-19; Psa 39:3). weary with forbearing, and I could not--"I labored to contain myself, but I could not" (Act 18:5; compare Jer 23:9; Co1 9:16-17).
