Jeremiah 20:1-18

Now Pashur
<06583>
the son
<01121>
of Immer
<0564>
the priest
<03548>_,
who [was] also chief
<06496>
governor
<05057>
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
heard
<08085> (8799)
that Jeremiah
<03414>
prophesied
<05012> (8738)
these things
<01697>_.
Then Pashur
<06583>
smote
<05221> (8686)
Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)
him in the stocks
<04115>
that [were] in the high
<05945>
gate
<08179>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
which [was] by the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,
that Pashur
<06583>
brought forth
<03318> (8686)
Jeremiah
<03414>
out of the stocks
<04115>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Jeremiah
<03414>
unto him, The LORD
<03068>
hath not called
<07121> (8804)
thy name
<08034>
Pashur
<06583>_,
but Magormissabib
<04036>_.
{Magormissabib: that is, Fear round about}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Behold, I will make
<05414> (8802)
thee a terror
<04032>
to thyself, and to all thy friends
<0157> (8802)_:
and they shall fall
<05307> (8804)
by the sword
<02719>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and thine eyes
<05869>
shall behold
<07200> (8802)
[it]: and I will give
<05414> (8799)
all Judah
<03063>
into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and he shall carry them captive
<01540> (8689)
into Babylon
<0894>_,
and shall slay
<05221> (8689)
them with the sword
<02719>_.
Moreover I will deliver
<05414> (8804)
all the strength
<02633>
of this city
<05892>_,
and all the labours
<03018>
thereof, and all the precious things
<03366>
thereof, and all the treasures
<0214>
of the kings
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
into the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
which shall spoil
<0962> (8804)
them, and take
<03947> (8804)
them, and carry
<0935> (8689)
them to Babylon
<0894>_.
And thou, Pashur
<06583>_,
and all that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in thine house
<01004>
shall go
<03212> (8799)
into captivity
<07628>_:
and thou shalt come
<0935> (8799)
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and there thou shalt die
<04191> (8799)_,
and shalt be buried
<06912> (8735)
there, thou, and all thy friends
<0157> (8802)_,
to whom thou hast prophesied
<05012> (8738)
lies
<08267>_.
O LORD
<03068>_,
thou hast deceived
<06601> (8765)
me, and I was deceived
<06601> (8735)_:
thou art stronger
<02388> (8804)
than I, and hast prevailed
<03201> (8799)_:
I am in derision
<07814>
daily
<03117>_,
every one mocketh
<03932> (8802)
me. {was deceived: or, was enticed}
For since
<01767>
I spake
<01696> (8762)_,
I cried out
<02199> (8799)_,
I cried
<07121> (8799)
violence
<02555>
and spoil
<07701>_;
because the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
was made a reproach
<02781>
unto me, and a derision
<07047>_,
daily
<03117>_.
Then I said
<0559> (8804)_,
I will not make mention
<02142> (8799)
of him, nor speak
<01696> (8762)
any more in his name
<08034>_.
But [his word] was in mine heart
<03820>
as a burning
<01197> (8802)
fire
<0784>
shut up
<06113> (8803)
in my bones
<06106>_,
and I was weary
<03811> (8738)
with forbearing
<03557> (8771)_,
and I could
<03201> (8799)
not [stay].
For I heard
<08085> (8804)
the defaming
<01681>
of many
<07227>_,
fear
<04032>
on every side
<05439>_.
Report
<05046> (8685)_,
[say they], and we will report
<05046> (8686)
it. All my familiars
<0582> <07965>
watched
<08104> (8802)
for my halting
<06763> (8676) <06761>_,
[saying], Peradventure he will be enticed
<06601> (8792)_,
and we shall prevail
<03201> (8799)
against him, and we shall take
<03947> (8799)
our revenge
<05360>
on him. {All...: Heb. Every man of my peace}
But the LORD
<03068>
[is] with me as a mighty
<01368>
terrible one
<06184>_:
therefore my persecutors
<07291> (8802)
shall stumble
<03782> (8735)_,
and they shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)_:
they shall be greatly
<03966>
ashamed
<0954> (8804)_;
for they shall not prosper
<07919> (8689)_:
[their] everlasting
<05769>
confusion
<03639>
shall never be forgotten
<07911> (8735)_.
But, O LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
that triest
<0974> (8802)
the righteous
<06662>_,
[and] seest
<07200> (8802)
the reins
<03629>
and the heart
<03820>_,
let me see
<07200> (8799)
thy vengeance
<05360>
on them: for unto thee have I opened
<01540> (8765)
my cause
<07379>_.
Sing
<07891> (8798)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
praise
<01984> (8761)
ye the LORD
<03068>_:
for he hath delivered
<05337> (8689)
the soul
<05315>
of the poor
<034>
from the hand
<03027>
of evildoers
<07489> (8688)_.
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the day
<03117>
wherein I was born
<03205> (8795)_:
let not the day
<03117>
wherein my mother
<0517>
bare
<03205> (8804)
me be blessed
<01288> (8803)_.
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the man
<0376>
who brought tidings
<01319> (8765)
to my father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
A man
<02145>
child
<01121>
is born
<03205> (8795)
unto thee; making him very
<08055> (8763)
glad
<08055> (8765)_.
And let that man
<0376>
be as the cities
<05892>
which the LORD
<03068>
overthrew
<02015> (8804)_,
and repented
<05162> (8738)
not: and let him hear
<08085> (8804)
the cry
<02201>
in the morning
<01242>_,
and the shouting
<08643>
at noontide
<06256> <06672>_;
Because he slew
<04191> (8790)
me not from the womb
<07358>_;
or that my mother
<0517>
might have been my grave
<06913>_,
and her womb
<07358>
[to be] always
<05769>
great
<02030>
[with me].
Wherefore came I forth
<03318> (8804)
out of the womb
<07358>
to see
<07200> (8800)
labour
<05999>
and sorrow
<03015>_,
that my days
<03117>
should be consumed
<03615> (8799)
with shame
<01322>_?
