But the faithful prophet was daily strengthened to endure. "The Lord is with me as a mighty terrible One," he declared in faith; "therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be really ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten." "Sing unto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for He hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers." Jeremiah 20:11, 13.

Men den trofaste profet fik daglig styrke til at holde ud. Han udbrød i tro: "Herren er med mig som en vældig helt; derfor skal de, som forfølger mig, snuble i afmagt, højlig beskæmmes, thi heldet svigter dem, få skændsel, der aldrig glemmes." Syng for Herren, lovpris Herren! Thi han redder den fattiges sjæl af de ondes hånd." Jer. 20,11. og 13.
