Jeremiah 20:7 in Context — Jeremiah 20
5 Entregaré asimismo toda la sustancia de esta ciudad, y todo su trabajo, y todas sus cosas preciosas; y daré todos los tesoros de los reyes de Judá en manos de sus enemigos, y los saquearán, y los tomarán, y llevaránlos á Babilonia.
6 Y tú, Pashur, y todos los moradores de tu casa iréis cautivos, y entrarás en Babilonia, y allí morirás, y serás allá enterrado, tú, y todos los que bien te quieren, á los cuales has profetizado con mentira.
7 Alucinásteme, oh Jehová, y hállome frustrado: más fuerte fuiste que yo, y vencísteme: cada día he sido escarnecido; cada cual se burla de mí.
8 Porque desde que hablo, doy voces, grito, Violencia y destrucción: porque la palabra de Jehová me ha sido para afrenta y escarnio cada día.
9 Y dije: No me acordaré más de él, ni hablaré más en su nombre: empero fué en mi corazón como un fuego ardiente metido en mis huesos, trabajé por sufrirlo, y no pude.
