# 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.
