And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied(A) lies.’”

Jeremiah’s Complaint

You deceived[a](B) me, Lord, and I was deceived[b];
    you overpowered(C) me and prevailed.
I am ridiculed(D) all day long;
    everyone mocks(E) me.
Whenever I speak, I cry out
    proclaiming violence and destruction.(F)
So the word of the Lord has brought me
    insult and reproach(G) all day long.
