The lament “LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded”

"여호와여 주께서 나를 권유하시므로 내가 그 권유를 받았사오며" 하는 탄식

Jeremiah 20:7–13: the speaker (“I”) says, “LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me. For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, ‘Violence and destruction!’ because the LORD’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all day. If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t. For I have heard the defaming of many: ‘Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!’ say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. ‘Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.’ But the LORD is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten. But the LORD of Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you. Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.” The Korean Revised Version reads 20:10 사방의 두려움을 들었나이다 (I have heard the terror on every side) and gives 고소하라 우리도 고소하리라 (denounce, and we will denounce) as the words of “them”, where WEB gives “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” as the words of “all my familiar friends”.
