Jeremiah 20
English Standard Version Help
20Now Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.H6583H1121H564H3548H6496H5057H1004H3068H8085H3414H5012H1697 2Then Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate of the house of the LORD.H6583H5221H3414H5030H5414H4115H5945H8179H1144H1004H3068 3The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, "The LORD does not call your name Pashhur, but Terror On Every Side.H4283H6583H3318H3414H4115H559H3414H3068H7121H8034H6583H4036 4For thus says the LORD: Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They shall fall by the sword of their enemies while you look on. And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall strike them down with the sword.H559H3068H5414H4032H157H5307H2719H341H5869H7200H5414H3063H3027H4428H894H1540H894H5221H2719 5Moreover, I will give all the wealth of the city, all its gains, all its prized belongings, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and seize them and carry them to Babylon.H5414H2633H5892H3018H3366H214H4428H3063H5414H3027H341H962H3947H935H894 6And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. To Babylon you shall go, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely."H6583H3427H1004H3212H7628H935H894H4191H6912H157H5012H8267 7O LORD, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you are stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day; everyone mocks me.H3068H6601H6601H2388H3201H7814H3117H3932 8For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, "Violence and destruction!" For the word of the LORD has become for me a reproach and derision all day long.H1767H1696H2199H7121H2555H7701H1697H3068H2781H7047H3117 9If I say, "I will not mention him, or speak any more in his name," there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot.H559H2142H1696H8034H3820H1197H784H6113H6106H3811H3557H3201 10For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! "Denounce him! Let us denounce him!" say all my close friends, watching for my fall. "Perhaps he will be deceived; then we can overcome him and take our revenge on him."H8085H1681H7227H4032H5439H5046H5046H582H7965H8104H6763H6761H6601H3201H3947H5360 11But the LORD is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten.H3068H1368H6184H7291H3782H3201H3966H954H7919H5769H3639H7911 12O LORD of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committed my cause.H3068H6635H974H6662H7200H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H7379 13Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD! For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers.H7891H3068H1984H3068H5337H5315H34H3027H7489 14Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed!H779H3117H3205H3117H517H3205H1288 15Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, "A son is born to you," making him very glad.H779H376H1319H1H559H2145H1121H3205H8055H8055 16Let that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning and an alarm at noon,H376H5892H3068H2015H5162H8085H2201H1242H8643H6256H6672 17because he did not kill me in the womb; so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb forever great.H4191H7358H517H6913H7358H5769H2030 18Why did I come out from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?H3318H7358H7200H5999H3015H3117H3615H1322
