Jeremiah 20:7-8 Thou didst persuade me, O Yahweh, and I was persuaded, Thou didst lay firm hold on me, and didst prevail,––I am become a mockery, all the day, Every one, is laughing at me.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Thou didst persuade me, O Yahweh, and I was persuaded, Thou didst lay firm hold on me, and didst prevail,––I am become a mockery, all the day, Every one, is laughing at me. ⁸ For, as often as I speak, I make outcry, Violence and wasting, I proclaim,––Yea the word of Yahweh hath become, to me a reproach and derision, all the day.
