Jeremiah 20:6-8

New Century Version

⁶And Pashhur, you and everyone in your house will be taken captive. You will be forced to go to Babylon, where you will die and be buried, you and your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.’”

Jeremiah’s Fifth Complaint

⁷Lord, you tricked me, and I was fooled.
    You are stronger than I am, so you won.
I have become a joke;
    everyone makes fun of me all day long.
⁸Every time I speak, I shout.
    I am always shouting about violence and destruction.
I tell the people about the message I received from the Lord,
    but this only brings me insults.
    The people make fun of me all day long.
