Jeremiah 20:6-8

New Century Version

⁷ Lord, 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.
⁸ Every 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.
