Jeremiah 20: Jeremiah is Put in the Stocks - Fire in My Bones - David Alley | Peace Christian Church

Jeremiah 20 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Jeremiah 20 immediately following the smashing of pottery incident (Jeremiah 19) Passhur - a public official puts Jeremiah in the stocks at a public location to humiliate him. Jeremiah then complains to the Lord about his treatment. He cannot speak publicly because he is persecuted, but likewise he cannot hold in the Lord's words because they are like a fire inside his bones. Jeremiah is in a catch-22 situation.
