Jeremiah 20:7 in Context — Jeremiah 20
5 Entregarei também toda a riqueza desta cidade, e todo seu trabalho, e todas suas coisas preciosas; e entregarei todos os tesouros dos reis de Judá nas mãos de seus inimigos, e os saquearão, e os tomarão, e os levarão a Babilônia.
6 E tu, Pasur, e todos os moradores de tua casa ireis ao cativeiro, e entrarás na Babilônia, e ali morrerás; e ali serás sepultado, tu, e todos os teus amigos, aos quais profetizaste falsamente.
7 Persuadiste-me, ó SENHOR, e eu fiquei persuadido; mais forte foste que eu, e prevaleceste; sirvo de escárnio o dia todo; cada deles zomba de mim.
8 Pois desde que falo, grito; eu clamo violência e destruição; pois a palavra do SENHOR tem me servido de insulto e zombaria o dia todo.
9 Então eu disse: Não me lembrarei dele, nem falarei mais em seu nome; porém [ela] foi em meu coração como um fogo ardente contido em meus ossos; resisti até me cansar, mas não pude.
