Jeremiah 20

1Now Pashhur^H6583, the son^H1121 of Immer^H564 the priest^H3548, who was chief^H6496 officer^H5057 in the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068, heard^H8085 Jeremiah^H3414 prophesying^H5012 these things^H1697. 2Then Pashhur^H6583 smote^H5221 Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030, and put^H5414 him in the stocks^H4115 that were in the upper^H5945 gate^H8179 of Benjamin^H1144, which was in the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068. 3And it came to pass on the morrow^H4283, that Pashhur^H6583 brought forth^H3318 Jeremiah^H3414 out of the stocks^H4115. Then said^H559 Jeremiah^H3414 unto him, Jehovah^H3068 hath not called^H7121 thy name^H8034 Pashhur^H6583, but Magor-missabib^H4036. 4For thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, Behold, I will make^H5414 thee a terror^H4032 to thyself, and to all thy friends^H157; and they shall fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719 of their enemies^H341, and thine eyes^H5869 shall behold^H7200 it; and I will give^H5414 all Judah^H3063 into the hand^H3027 of the king^H4428 of Babylon^H894, and he shall carry them captive^H1540 to Babylon^H894, and shall slay^H5221 them with the sword^H2719. 5Moreover I will give^H5414 all the riches^H2633 of this city^H5892, and all the gains^H3018 thereof, and all the precious things^H3366 thereof, yea, all the treasures^H214 of the kings^H4428 of Judah^H3063 will I give^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of their enemies^H341; and they shall make them a prey^H962, and take^H3947 them, and carry^H935 them to Babylon^H894. 6And thou, Pashhur^H6583, and all that dwell^H3427 in thy house^H1004 shall go^H3212 into captivity^H7628; and thou shalt come^H935 to Babylon^H894, and there thou shalt die^H4191, and there shalt thou be buried^H6912, thou, and all thy friends^H157, to whom thou hast prophesied^H5012 falsely^H8267. 7O Jehovah^H3068, thou hast persuaded^H6601 me, and I was persuaded^H6601; thou art stronger^H2388 than I, and hast prevailed^H3201: I am become a laughing-stock^H7814 all the day^H3117, every one mocketh^H3932 me. 8For as often^H1767 as I speak^H1696, I cry^H7121 out^H2199; I cry^H7121, Violence^H2555 and destruction! because the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 is made a reproach^H2781 unto me, and a derision^H7047, all the day^H3117. 9And if I say^H559, I will not make mention^H2142 of him, nor speak^H1696 any more in his name^H8034, then there is in my heart^H3820 as it were a burning^H1197 fire^H784 shut up^H6113 in my bones^H6106, and I am weary^H3811 with forbearing^H3557, and I cannot^H3201 contain. 10For I have heard^H8085 the defaming^H1681 of many^H7227, terror^H4032 on every side^H5439. Denounce^H5046, and we will denounce^H5046 him, say all my familiar^H582 friends, they that watch^H8104 for my fall^H6763; peradventure he will be persuaded^H6601, and we shall prevail^H3201 against him, and we shall take^H3947 our revenge^H5360 on him. 11But Jehovah^H3068 is with me as a mighty^H1368 one^H6184 and a terrible: therefore my persecutors^H7291 shall stumble^H3782, and they shall not prevail^H3201; they shall be utterly^H3966 put to shame^H954, because they have not dealt wisely^H7919, even with an everlasting^H5769 dishonor^H3639 which shall never be forgotten^H7911. 12But, O Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, that triest^H974 the righteous^H6662, that seest^H7200 the heart^H3629 and the mind^H3820, let me see^H7200 thy vengeance^H5360 on them; for unto thee have I revealed^H1540 my cause^H7379. 13Sing^H7891 unto Jehovah^H3068, praise^H1984 ye Jehovah^H3068; for he hath delivered^H5337 the soul^H5315 of the needy^H34 from the hand^H3027 of evil-doers^H7489. 14Cursed^H779 be the day^H3117 wherein I was born^H3205: let not the day^H3117 wherein my mother^H517 bare^H3205 me be blessed^H1288. 15Cursed^H779 be the man^H376 who brought tidings^H1319 to my father^H1, saying^H559, A^H2145 man-child^H1121 is born^H3205 unto thee; making him very^H8055 glad^H8055. 16And let that man^H376 be as the cities^H5892 which Jehovah^H3068 overthrew^H2015, and repented^H5162 not: and let him hear^H8085 a cry^H2201 in the morning^H1242, and shouting^H8643 at noontime^H6256; 17because he slew^H4191 me not from the womb^H7358; and so my mother^H517 would have been my grave^H6913, and her womb^H7358 always^H5769 great^H2030. 18Wherefore came I forth^H3318 out of the womb^H7358 to see^H7200 labor^H5999 and sorrow^H3015, that my days^H3117 should be consumed^H3615 with shame^H1322?
