Jeremiah 20
King James Version Help
20Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.H6583H1121H564H3548H6496H5057H1004H3068H8085H3414H5012H1697
2Then 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.H6583H5221H3414H5030H5414H4115H5945H8179H1144H1004H3068
3And 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.H4283H6583H3318H3414H4115H559H3414H3068H7121H8034H6583H4036
4For 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.H559H3068H5414H4032H157H5307H2719H341H5869H7200H5414H3063H3027H4428H894H1540H894H5221H2719
5Moreover 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.H5414H2633H5892H3018H3366H214H4428H3063H5414H3027H341H962H3947H935H894
6And 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.H6583H3427H1004H3212H7628H935H894H4191H6912H157H5012H8267
7O 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.H3068H6601H6601H2388H3201H7814H3117H3932
8For 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.H1767H1696H2199H7121H2555H7701H1697H3068H2781H7047H3117
9Then 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.H559H2142H1696H8034H3820H1197H784H6113H6106H3811H3557H3201
10For 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.H8085H1681H7227H4032H5439H5046H5046H582H7965H8104H6763H6761H6601H3201H3947H5360
11But 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.H3068H1368H6184H7291H3782H3201H3966H954H7919H5769H3639H7911
12But, 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.H3068H6635H974H6662H7200H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H7379
13Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.H7891H3068H1984H3068H5337H5315H34H3027H7489
14Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.H779H3117H3205H3117H517H3205H1288
15Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.H779H376H1319H1H559H2145H1121H3205H8055H8055
16And 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;H376H5892H3068H2015H5162H8085H2201H1242H8643H6256H6672
17Because 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.H4191H7358H517H6913H7358H5769H2030
18Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?H3318H7358H7200H5999H3015H3117H3615H1322
