Jeremiah 18
19 Hear me, O Lord, and listen to the voice of my adversaries.
20 Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for my life.
Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to famine; give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless and widowed. May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
22 May a cry be heard from their houses, when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them!
For they have dug a pit to take me and laid snares for my feet.
23 Yet you, O Lord, know all their plotting to kill me.
Forgive not their iniquity, nor blot out their sin from your sight.
Let them be overthrown before you; deal with them in the time of your anger.
Psalm 119:1-8
English Standard Version
Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet
Aleph
1 [a] Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord!
2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,
3 who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!
4 You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.
5 Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!
6 Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
7 I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules.[b]
8 I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me!

Jeremiah 19
ESV
10 “Then you shall break the flask in the sight of the men who go with you, 11 and shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, so that it can never be mended. Men shall bury in Topheth because there will be no place else to bury. 12 Thus will I do to this place, declares the Lord, and to its inhabitants, making this city like Topheth. 13 The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah—all the houses on whose roofs offerings have been offered to all the host of heaven, and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods—shall be defiled like the place of Topheth.’”
14 Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of the Lord's house and said to all the people: 15 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, behold, I am bringing upon this city and upon all its towns all the disaster that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their neck, refusing to hear my words.”

Jeremiah 20
6 And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. To Babylon you shall go, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.”
7 O Lord, 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;
everyone mocks me.
8 For whenever I speak, I cry out,
I shout, “Violence and destruction!”
For the word of the Lord has become for me
a reproach and derision all day long.
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.
10 For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! “Denounce him! Let us denounce him!”
say all my close friends, watching for my fall. “Perhaps he will be deceived; then we can overcome him
and take our revenge on him.”
11 But the Lord 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 dishonor will never be forgotten.
12 O Lord of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind,[a]
let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committed my cause.
13 Sing to the Lord; praise the Lord! For he has delivered the life of the needy
from the hand of evildoers.
6 And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. To Babylon you shall go, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.”
7 O Lord, you have deceived me,
and I was deceived;
you are stronger than I,
and you have prevailed.

2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,

Observation
It is definitely very hard to be a prophet in the days of rebellion of GOD's people from long ago until today. Like Ezekiel and Jeremiah, for it seems like their time of sorrow and sadness is more than their time of joy and happiness.
Application
To stand with GOD is a difficult thing when everyone is against YOU, but I would rather stand with GOD than be against GOD for compromise for HE is not pleased with those who shrink back. But King David writes in Psalm 119 Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk with GOD, for even thought hey are against the world for the world is in rebellion against GOD, they are blessed in their souls with peace in their hearts and a healthy Spirit. I will follow the LORD no matter what the cost.
