If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary with holding it in.
I can’t.
For I have heard the defaming of many: “Terror on every side!
Denounce, and we will denounce him!”
say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall.
“Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”
