6 And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. You shall go to Babylon, and there you shall die, and be buried there, you and all your friends, to whom you have ^aprophesied lies.’ ” ‡

7 O Lord, You¹ induced me, and I was persuaded;
^aYou are stronger than I, and have prevailed.
^bI am¹ in derision daily;
Everyone mocks me. ‡

10 ^aFor I heard many¹ mocking:
“Fear on every side!”
“Report,” they say, “and we will report it!”
^bAll my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying,
“Perhaps he can be induced;
Then we will prevail against him,
And we will take our revenge on him.” ‡

11 But the Lord is ^awith me as a mighty, awesome One.
Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not ^bprevail.
They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper.
Their ^ceverlasting confusion will never be forgotten. ‡
