NASB | Jeremiah 20:7 ¶ O LORD, You have deceived me and I was deceived; You have overcome me and prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day long; Everyone mocks me. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Jeremiah 20:7 ¶ [Jeremiah said,] O LORD, You have persuaded me and I was deceived; You are stronger than I and You have prevailed. I am a laughingstock all day long; Everyone mocks me. |
Subject: Why does Jeremiah think he was deceived? |
Bible Note: Greetings wdc! Yes, I understand what you mean. Jeremiah was facing opposition and began to doubt, even though he remained faithful. And of course, we all have experienced "doubt" from time to time, which is common for us who dwell on earth who struggle so much with faith. Blessings to you, Nolan |
