20Now Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.H6583H1121H564H3548H6496H5057H1004H3068H8085H3414H5012H16972Then Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper Benjamin Gate of the house of the LORD.H6583H5221H3414H5030H5414H4115H5945H8179H1144H1004H30683The 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.H4283H6583H3318H3414H4115H559H3414H3068H7121H8034H6583H40364For 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.H559H3068H5414H4032H157H5307H2719H341H5869H7200H5414H3063H3027H4428H894H1540H894H5221H27195Moreover, 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.H5414H2633H5892H3018H3366H214H4428H3063H5414H3027H341H962H3947H935H8946And 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."H6583H3427H1004H3212H7628H935H894H4191H6912H157H5012H82677O 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.H3068H6601H6601H2388H3201H7814H3117H39328For 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.H1767H1696H2199H7121H2555H7701H1697H3068H2781H7047H31179If 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.H559H2142H1696H8034H3820H1197H784H6113H6106H3811H3557H320110For 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."H8085H1681H7227H4032H5439H5046H5046H582H7965H8104H6763H6761H6601H3201H3947H536011But 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.H3068H1368H6184H7291H3782H3201H3966H954H7919H5769H3639H791112O 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.H3068H6635H974H6662H7200H3629H3820H7200H5360H1540H737913Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD! For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers.H7891H3068H1984H3068H5337H5315H34H3027H748914Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed!H779H3117H3205H3117H517H3205H128815Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, "A son is born to you," making him very glad.H779H376H1319H1H559H2145H1121H3205H8055H805516Let 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,H376H5892H3068H2015H5162H8085H2201H1242H8643H6256H667217because he did not kill me in the womb; so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb forever great.H4191H7358H517H6913H7358H5769H203018Why did I come out from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?H3318H7358H7200H5999H3015H3117H3615H1322
