JER-20:1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who [was] also
chief
governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah
prophesied these
things.
JER-20:2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in
the stocks
that [were] in the high gate of Benjamin, which [was] by the
house of the
LORD.
JER-20:3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought
forth
Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The
LORD hath not
called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.
JER-20:4 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a
terror to
thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the
sword of their
enemies, and thine eyes shall behold [it]: and I will give all
Judah into the
hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive
into Babylon, and
shall slay them with the sword.
JER-20:5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city,
and all the
labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all
the treasures of
the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies,
which shall
spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
JER-20:6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house
shall go into
captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt
die, and shalt
be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast
prophesied lies.
JER-20:7 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.
JER-20:8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and
spoil; because
the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision,
daily.
JER-20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak
any more in
his name. But [his word] was in mine heart as a burning fire
shut up in my
bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay].
JER-20:10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side.
Report, [say
they], and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my
halting,
[saying], Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail
against him,
and we shall take our revenge on him.
JER-20:11 But the LORD [is] with me as a mighty terrible one:
therefore my
persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they
shall be greatly
ashamed; for they shall not prosper: [their] everlasting
confusion shall never
be forgotten.
JER-20:12 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous,
[and] seest the
reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto
thee have I
opened my cause.
JER-20:13 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath
delivered the
soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
JER-20:14 Cursed [be] the day wherein I was born: let not the
day wherein my
mother bare me be blessed.
JER-20:15 Cursed [be] the man who brought tidings to my father,
saying, A man
child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
JER-20:16 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD
overthrew, and
repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the
shouting at
noontide;
JER-20:17 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my
mother might have
been my grave, and her womb [to be] always great [with me].
JER-20:18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour
and sorrow,
that my days should be consumed with shame?
