And you, (A)Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into captivity; and you will enter Babylon, and there you will die and there you will be buried, you and all your (B)friends to whom you have (C)falsely prophesied.’”

Jeremiah’s Complaint

Lord, You persuaded me and I let myself be persuaded;
You have (D)overcome me and prevailed.
I have become a (E)laughingstock all day long;
Everyone (F)mocks me.
For each time I speak, I cry aloud;
I (G)proclaim violence and destruction,
Because for me the (H)word of the Lord has [a]resulted
In taunting and derision all day long.
