Exegesis
The perfect hayiti {הָיִ֤יתִי | hāyītī} ‘I have become’ introduces the resultant state linked to lisḥoq {לִשְׂחוֹק֙ | lisḥoq} ‘laughter’, with kol-hayyom {כָּל־הַיּ֔וֹם | kol-hayyôm} marking a continuous temporal frame.
In context — Jeremiah 20:7
You have deceived me, O LORD , and I was deceived; You have prevailed over me, and You have overcome. I have become a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.
