Jeremiah 20:7-10

20:7

O LORD
<03068>_,

thou hast deceived
<06601> (8765)

me, and I was deceived
<06601> (8735)_:

thou art stronger
<02388> (8804)

than I, and hast prevailed
<03201> (8799)_:

I am in derision
<07814>

daily
<03117>_,

every one mocketh
<03932> (8802)

me. {was deceived: or, was enticed}

20:8

For since
<01767>

I spake
<01696> (8762)_,

I cried out
<02199> (8799)_,

I cried
<07121> (8799)

violence
<02555>

and spoil
<07701>_;

because the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

was made a reproach
<02781>

unto me, and a derision
<07047>_,

daily
<03117>_.

20:9

Then I said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will not make mention
<02142> (8799)

of him, nor speak
<01696> (8762)

any more in his name
<08034>_.

But [his word] was in mine heart
<03820>

as a burning
<01197> (8802)

fire
<0784>

shut up
<06113> (8803)

in my bones
<06106>_,

and I was weary
<03811> (8738)

with forbearing
<03557> (8771)_,

and I could
<03201> (8799)

not [stay].

20:10

For I heard
<08085> (8804)

the defaming
<01681>

of many
<07227>_,

fear
<04032>

on every side
<05439>_.

Report
<05046> (8685)_,

[say they], and we will report
<05046> (8686)

it. All my familiars
<0582> <07965>

watched
<08104> (8802)

for my halting
<06763> (8676) <06761>_,

[saying], Peradventure he will be enticed
<06601> (8792)_,

and we shall prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, and we shall take
<03947> (8799)

our revenge
<05360>

on him. {All...: Heb. Every man of my peace}
