Jeremiah 20:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Moreover, I will deliver all the substance of this city, and all the labors thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the Kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them away and carry them to Babel.
6 And thou Pashhur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go into captivity, and thou shalt come to Babel, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou and all thy [a]friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
7 O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I am [b]deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast [c]prevailed: I am in derision daily: everyone mocketh me.
