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 lies.”’

Jeremiah’s complaint

You deceived[a] me, Lord, and I was deceived;[b]
    you overpowered me and prevailed.

    insult and reproach all day long.
