# General Information:

Jeremiah speaks to Yahweh.

# Yahweh, you deceived me, and I was deceived

Some modern versions interpret these Hebrew expressions as "Yahweh, you persuaded me, and I was indeed persuaded."

# I was deceived

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "you deceived me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# I have become a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me

These two phrases mean basically the same thing and emphasize the way others mock him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])

# laughingstock

This is a person whom others laugh at and make fun of.
