Jeremiah 20:7-8

Jeremiah complains to God

7 Lord, you forced me to become a prophet,

and I let you do that.

You used your power to make me agree,

and you won.

Now everybody laughs at me and they insult me.

8 When I speak your message, I have to say,

‘ Terrible trouble is coming!’

When I shout that message from the Lord,

people laugh at me. They insult me.
