Jeremiah 20:7-9 p Hast thou, Lord deceived me? and have I been deceived? Thou hast taken hold and hast prevailed. I am become a subject of laughter: all the day long I endure reproach.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ [p] Hast thou, Lord deceived me? and have I been deceived? Thou hast taken hold and hast prevailed. I am become a subject of laughter: all the day long I endure reproach. ⁸ Because for my bitter word I am to be derided, shall I appeal to a breach of covenant and misery? because the word of the Lord became a reproach to me; a subject of mockery all the day long; ⁹ therefore I said, I will not name the name of the Lord; I will not speak any more in his name. But there was kindled as it were a burning fire in my bones and I became dejected and cannot bear it.
