LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૨૦:૭
હે યહોવાહ, તમે મને છેતર્યો છે; અને હું ફસાઈ ગયો. મારા કરતાં તમે બળવાન છો અને તમે મને જીત્યો છે. હું આખો દિવસો તિરસ્કારનું કારણ થઈ પડ્યો છું. સર્વ લોકો મારી મશ્કરી કરે છે.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह २०:७
हे यहोवा, तूने मुझे धोखा दिया, और मैंने धोखा खाया; तू मुझसे बलवन्त है, इस कारण तू मुझ पर प्रबल हो गया । दिन भर मेरी हँसी होती है; सब कोई मुझसे ठट्ठा करते हैं।

In context

5Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.

6You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”

7LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.

8For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because the LORD’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day.

9If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
