Jeremiah 20:1-18

20:1

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>_.

20:2

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>_.

20:3

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}

20:4

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>_.

20:5

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>_.

20:6

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>_.

20:7

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}

20:8

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>_.

20:9

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].

20:10

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}

20:11

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)_.

20:12

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>_.

20:13

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)_.

20:14

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)_.

20:15

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)_.

20:16

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>_;

20:17

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].

20:18

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>_?
