My heart burned like a fire flaring up within me. Then I spoke with my tongue:
I think to myself, “I can forget the Lord and no longer speak his name.” But ⌞his word⌟ is inside me like a burning fire shut up in my bones. I wear myself out holding it in, but I can’t do it any longer.
Then the Spirit lifted me and took me away. I went away feeling bitter and angry. The strong power of the Lord came over me.
They said to each other, “Weren’t we excited when he talked with us on the road and opened up the meaning of the Scriptures for us?”
