Jeremiah 20:7 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

O Lord, thus Jeremiah now addresses the Lord in bringing his complaint over his persecutions to His attention. Thou hast deceived me, rather persuaded, enticed me, and I was deceived, he had yielded to the Lord in accepting the office of prophet; Thou art stronger than I and hast prevailed, His Spirit having taken hold of Jeremiah and constrained him to make known the Lord's Word and will, just as he had done; I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me, sneering and jeering at him when he exercised his office.

Jeremiah 20:7

7 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived:b thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
