Jeremiah 20:4-7

4For thusH3541 saith Jehovah, Behold, I will makeH5414 thee a terrorH4032 to thyself, and to all thy friendsH157; and they shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 of their enemiesH341, and thine eyesH5869 shall behold it; and I will giveH5414 all JudahH3063 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall carry them captive to BabylonH894, and shall slay them with the swordH2719. 5Moreover I will giveH5414 all the riches of this cityH5892, and all the gains thereof, and all the preciousH3366 things thereof, yea, all the treasuresH214 of the kingsH4428 of JudahH3063 will I giveH5414 into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341; and they shall makeH5414 them a prey, and takeH3947 them, and carry them to BabylonH894. 6And thou, PashhurH6583, and all that dwellH3427 in thy houseH1004 shall goH935 into captivityH7628; and thou shalt comeH935 to BabylonH894, and there thou shalt dieH4191, and there shalt thou be buriedH6912, thou, and all thy friendsH157, to whom thou hast prophesiedH5012 falsely.

7O Jehovah, thou hast persuaded me, and I wasH1961 persuaded; thou art strongerH2388 than I, and hast prevailedH3201: I amH1961 becomeH1961 a laughing-stock all the dayH3117, every one mocketh me.
