| 7 | O Yahweh, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day; every one mocks me. | Jeremiah complains to the LORD. Jr.20.7-18 | פִּתִּיתַנִי יְהוָה וָאֶפָּת חֲזַקְתַּנִי וַתּוּכָל הָיִיתִי לִשְׂחֹוק כָּל־הַיֹּום כֻּלֹּה לֹעֵג לִי׃ |
| 8 | For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, "Violence and destruction!" For the word of Yahweh has become for me a reproach and derision all day long. | כִּי־מִדֵּי אֲדַבֵּר אֶזְעָק חָמָס וָשֹׁד אֶקְרָא כִּי־הָיָה דְבַר־יְהוָה לִי לְחֶרְפָּה וּלְקֶלֶס כָּל־הַיֹּום׃ | |
| 9 | If I say, "I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name," there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot. | וְאָמַרְתִּי לֹא־אֶזְכְּרֶנּוּ וְלֹא־אֲדַבֵּר עֹוד בִּשְׁמֹו וְהָיָה בְלִבִּי כְּאֵשׁ בֹּעֶרֶת עָצֻר בְּעַצְמֹתָי וְנִלְאֵיתִי כַּלְכֵל וְלֹא אוּכָל׃ | |
| 10 | For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! "Denounce him! Let us denounce him!" say all my familiar friends, watching for my fall. "Perhaps he will be deceived, then we can overcome him, and take our revenge on him." | כִּי שָׁמַעְתִּי דִּבַּת רַבִּים מָגֹור מִסָּבִיב הַגִּידוּ וְנַגִּידֶנּוּ כֹּל אֱנֹושׁ שְׁלֹומִי שֹׁמְרֵי צַלְעִי אוּלַי יְפֻתֶּה וְנוּכְלָה לֹו וְנִקְחָה נִקְמָתֵנוּ מִמֶּנּוּ׃ | |
| 11 | But Yahweh is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble, they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonour will never be forgotten. | וַיהוָה אֹותִי כְּגִבֹּור עָרִיץ עַל־כֵּן רֹדְפַי יִכָּשְׁלוּ וְלֹא יֻכָלוּ בֹּשׁוּ מְאֹד כִּי־לֹא הִשְׂכִּילוּ כְּלִמַּת עֹולָם לֹא תִשָּׁכֵחַ׃ | |
| 12 | O Yahweh of hosts, who tries the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committed my cause. | וַיהוָה צְבָאֹות בֹּחֵן צַדִּיק רֹאֶה כְלָיֹות וָלֵב אֶרְאֶה נִקְמָתְךָ מֵהֶם כִּי אֵלֶיךָ גִּלִּיתִי אֶת־רִיבִי׃ ס | |
| 13 | Sing to Yahweh; praise Yahweh! For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers. | שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה הַלְלוּ אֶת־יְהוָה כִּי הִצִּיל אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ אֶבְיֹון מִיַּד מְרֵעִים׃ ס | |
| 14 | Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed! | אָרוּר הַיֹּום אֲשֶׁר יֻלַּדְתִּי בֹּו יֹום אֲשֶׁר־יְלָדַתְנִי אִמִּי אַל־יְהִי בָרוּךְ׃ | |
| 15 | Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, "A son is born to you," making him very glad. | אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר בִּשַּׂר אֶת־אָבִי לֵאמֹר יֻלַּד־לְךָ בֵּן זָכָר שַׂמֵּחַ שִׂמֳּחָהוּ׃ | |
| 16 | Let that man be like the cities which Yahweh overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning and an alarm at noon, | וְהָיָה הָאִישׁ הַהוּא כֶּעָרִים אֲשֶׁר־הָפַךְ יְהוָה וְלֹא נִחָם וְשָׁמַע זְעָקָה בַּבֹּקֶר וּתְרוּעָה בְּעֵת צָהֳרָיִם׃ | |
| 17 | because he did not kill me in the womb; so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb for ever great. | אֲשֶׁר לֹא־מֹותְתַנִי מֵרָחֶם וַתְּהִי־לִי אִמִּי קִבְרִי וְרַחְמָהֿ הֲרַת עֹולָם׃ | |
| 18 | Why did I come forth from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame? | לָמָּה זֶּה מֵרֶחֶם יָצָאתִי לִרְאֹות עָמָל וְיָגֹון וַיִּכְלוּ בְּבֹשֶׁת יָמָי׃ ף | |
