It is found in the Book of Jeremiah and is part of a lamentation by the prophet Jeremiah, expressing his inner turmoil and feelings of being misled by God in his calling. This passage captures a moment of intense personal struggle and questioning that reflects the emotional weight of prophetic ministry.
Biblical Passage: Jeremiah 20:7 (KJV)
"O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me."
In this verse, Jeremiah speaks to God with feelings of betrayal and confusion. He had been called by God to be a prophet, but his prophetic mission had led him to suffering, rejection, and ridicule from the people. He feels that God has allowed him to be mocked and mistreated for carrying out a divine mission, and in his distress, he accuses God of deceiving him, using a term that expresses his sense of being misled or misguided.
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
In Salvador Dalí’s surrealist interpretation, the focus would be on Jeremiah’s existential anguish and the cosmic tension between his suffering and the divine purpose he is called to fulfill. Dalí would use fragmented, distorted figures and surreal landscapes to convey Jeremiah’s feelings of betrayal, mockery, and isolation. The deception Jeremiah feels would be symbolized through fractured mirrors, melted clocks, and cosmic forces, emphasizing the distorted perception and internal struggle that comes with following God’s will, even when it leads to pain and rejection. The cosmic struggle between human suffering and divine sovereignty would be a central theme in Dalí’s interpretation, with surreal elements representing the mystical and painful nature of prophetic calling.
