The Word of God to Pashhur

20Now Pashhur 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 Pashhur struck 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 happened on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, "The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magor-Missabib.H4283H6583H3318H3414H4115H559H3414H3068H7121H8034H6583H4036 4"For thus says the LORD: 'Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon and slay them with the sword.H559H3068H5414H4032H157H5307H2719H341H5869H7200H5414H3063H3027H4428H894H1540H894H5221H2719 5'Moreover I will deliver all the wealth of this city, all its produce, and all its precious things; all the treasures of the kings of Judah I will give into the hand of their enemies, who will plunder them, seize them, and carry them to Babylon.H5414H2633H5892H3018H3366H214H4428H3063H5414H3027H341H962H3947H935H894 6'And you, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house, shall go into captivity. You shall go to Babylon, and there you shall die, and be buried there, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies.'"H6583H3427H1004H3212H7628H935H894H4191H6912H157H5012H8267

Jeremiah’s Unpopular Ministry

7O LORD, You induced me, and I was persuaded; You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I am in derision daily; Everyone mocks me.H3068H6601H6601H2388H3201H7814H3117H3932 8For when I spoke, I cried out; I shouted, "Violence and plunder!" Because the word of the LORD was made to me A reproach and a derision daily.H1767H1696H2199H7121H2555H7701H1697H3068H2781H7047H3117 9Then I said, "I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name." But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not.H559H2142H1696H8034H3820H1197H784H6113H6106H3811H3557H3201 10For I heard many mocking: "Fear on every side!" "Report," they say, "and we will report it!" All my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying, "Perhaps he can be induced; Then we will prevail against him, And we will take our revenge on him."H8085H1681H7227H4032H5439H5046H5046H582H7965H8104H6763H6761H6601H3201H3947H5360 11But the LORD is with me as a mighty, awesome One. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not prevail. They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper. Their everlasting confusion will never be forgotten.H3068H1368H6184H7291H3782H3201H3966H954H7919H5769H3639H7911 12But, O LORD of hosts, You who test the righteous, And see the mind and heart, Let me see Your vengeance on them; For I have pleaded my cause before You.H3068H6635H974H6662H7200H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H7379 13Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He has delivered the life of the poor From the hand of evildoers.H7891H3068H1984H3068H5337H5315H34H3027H7489 14Cursed be the day in which I was born! Let the day not be blessed in which my mother bore me!H779H3117H3205H3117H517H3205H1288 15Let the man be cursed Who brought news to my father, saying, "A male child has been born to you!" Making him very glad.H779H376H1319H1H559H2145H1121H3205H8055H8055 16And let that man be like the cities Which the LORD overthrew, and did not relent; Let him hear the cry in the morning And the shouting at noon,H376H5892H3068H2015H5162H8085H2201H1242H8643H6256H6672 17Because he did not kill me from the womb, That my mother might have been my grave, And her womb always enlarged with me.H4191H7358H517H6913H7358H5769H2030 18Why did I come forth from the womb to see labor and sorrow, That my days should be consumed with shame?H3318H7358H7200H5999H3015H3117H3615H1322
