Jeremiah » The prophet » His melancholy and complaints against God, in consequence of persecution
Thou didst persuade me, O Jehovah, and I shall be persuaded: thou didst hold me fast, and thou wilt prevail: I was for a derision all the day, all mocking to me. For as often as I shall speak I shall cry; violence and oppression I shall call; for the word of Jehovah was to me for a reproach and for a derision all the day. And I said, I will not bring him to remembrance, and I will no more speak in his name. And it was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was wearied to endure, and I shall not be able. read more.
For I heard the slander of many, terror from round about Announce ye, and we will announce. Every man of my peace watching my halting: perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we will take our vengeance of him. And Jehovah is with me as a strong terrible one: for this, they pursuing shall be weak, and they shall not prevail; they were greatly ashamed, for they prospered not; perpetual shame shall not be forgotten. And Jehovah of armies trying the just, seeing the reins and the heart, I shall see thy vengeance of them: for to thee I uncovered my cause. Sing ye to Jehovah, praise ye Jehovah: for he delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of those doing evil. Cursed the day which I was born in it; the day which my mother brought me forth shall not be blessed. Cursed the man who announced to my father, Good news; saying, A son, a male was born to thee; with rejoicing, making him rejoice. And that man being as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and lamented not: and hearing the cry in the morning and the loud noise in time of noon. Because he killed me not from the womb, and my mother will be to me my grave, and her womb pregnant forever. Wherefore this came I forth from the womb to see labor and sorrow, and my days shall be finished with shame?
