Jeremiah Denounced

20When the priest Pashur, Immer's son, who was the officer in charge of the Lord's temple heard Jeremiah prophesying these words,H6583H1121H564H3548H6496H5057H1004H3068H8085H3414H5012H1697 2Pashur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were at the upper Benjamin Gate of the temple.H6583H5221H3414H5030H5414H4115H5945H8179H1144H1004H3068 3The next day Pashur released Jeremiah from the stocks, and Jeremiah said to him, "The Lord has not named you Pashur, but rather Magor-missabib.H4283H6583H3318H3414H4115H559H3414H3068H7121H8034H6583H4036 4For this is what the Lord says: 'Look, I'm going to make you a terror to yourself and to all your loved ones. They'll fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I'll give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will take them into exile to Babylon, and he will execute them with swords.H559H3068H5414H4032H157H5307H2719H341H5869H7200H5414H3063H3027H4428H894H1540H894H5221H2719 5I'll turn over all the wealth of this city, all its possessions, all its valuables, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah right into the hands of their enemies, and they'll plunder them, capture them, and take them to Babylon.H5414H2633H5892H3018H3366H214H4428H3063H5414H3027H341H962H3947H935H894 6You, Pashur, and all those living in your house will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon and there you will die. There you and all your loved ones to whom you have falsely prophesied will be buried.'"H6583H3427H1004H3212H7628H935H894H4191H6912H157H5012H8267

Jeremiah’s Complaint to the Lord

7You deceived me, Lord, and I've been deceived. You overpowered me, and you prevailed. I've become a laughing stock all day long, and everyone mocks me.H3068H6601H6601H2388H3201H7814H3117H3932 8Indeed, as often as I speak, I cry out, and shout, "Violence and destruction!" For the word of the Lord has caused me constant reproach and derision.H1767H1696H2199H7121H2555H7701H1697H3068H2781H7047H3117 9When I say, "I won't remember the Lord, nor will I speak in his name any more, then there is this burning fire in my heart. It is bound up in my bones, I grow weary of trying to hold it in, and I cannot do it!H559H2142H1696H8034H3820H1197H784H6113H6106H3811H3557H3201 10Indeed, I hear many people whispering, "Terror on every side. Denounce him, let's denounce him!" All my close friends watch my steps and say, "Perhaps he will be deceived, and we can prevail against him and take vengeance on him."H8085H1681H7227H4032H5439H5046H5046H582H7965H8104H6763H6761H6601H3201H3947H5360 11ButtheLord is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, those who pursue me will stumble and won't prevail. They'll be put to great shame, when they don't succeed. Their everlasting disgrace won't be forgotten.H3068H1368H6184H7291H3782H3201H3966H954H7919H5769H3639H7911 12Lord of the Heavenly Armies, who tests the righteous, who sees the inner motives and the heart, let me see you take vengeance on them, for I've committed my case to you.H3068H6635H974H6662H7200H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H7379 13Sing to the Lord, give praise to the Lord! For he saves the life of the poor from the hand of the wicked.H7891H3068H1984H3068H5337H5315H34H3027H7489

Jeremiah Curses the Day of His Birth

14Let the day on which I was born be cursed. Don't let the day on which my mother gave birth to me be blessed.H779H3117H3205H3117H517H3205H1288 15Cursed is the person who brought the good news to my father, "A baby boy has been born to you," making him very happy.H779H376H1319H1H559H2145H1121H3205H8055H8055 16May that man be like the cities that the Lord overthrew without compassion. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and a battle cry at noon,H376H5892H3068H2015H5162H8085H2201H1242H8643H6256H6672 17because he didn't kill me in the womb, so that my mother would have been my grave and her womb forever pregnant.H4191H7358H517H6913H7358H5769H2030 18Why did I ever come out of the womb to see trouble and sorrow, and to finish my life living in shame -H3318H7358H7200H5999H3015H3117H3615H1322
