John Trapp on Jeremiah 20:7

Ver. 7. O Lord, thou haſt deceived me, and I was deceived] From hence to the end of the Chapter the Prophet,Iterum more ſolit[illegible: 1 letter] cauſam ſuam [non-Latin text not transcribed] coram Deo agit. Oecolamp. not without ſome tang and taint of humane frailty, grievouſly quiritateth and expoſtulateth with God, about the hard uſage and ill ſucceſs he met with in the execution of his prophetical function. But as ex incredulitate Thomae noſtra confirmata eſt fides, Thomas his unbelief ſerveth to the ſetling of our faith: and as Peters fall warneth us to look well to our ſtanding: ſo when ſuch a man as Jeremy ſhall miſcarry in this ſort, and have ſuch out-burſts, oh be not high-minded but fear. Some render the text, Lord if I be deceived, thou haſt deceived me: and ſo every faithful man, who keepeth to the rule, may ſafely ſay. Piſcator hath it perſuaſiſti mihi Jehova, & perſuaſus ſum. O Lord thou perſwadedſt me, and I was perſwaded, ſc. to undertake this Prophetical office; but I have ſmall joy of it: ſome think he thus complained, when he was put in priſon by Paſhur.

I am in deriſion dayly, every one mocketh me] This is the worlds wages. The Cynik ſaid of the Megarians long ago, Better be their horſe, dog, or Pander, then their teacher: and better he ſhould be regarded.
