Now
Pashur
the son of Immer the priest,
who
was
also
chief governor
in the house of the LORD, heard that
Jeremiah prophesied
these things .
When
Pashhur
the priest,
the
son of Immer and
the chief official
in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying
these things ,
Then
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.
he
had
Jeremiah the prophet beaten
and put in the stocks at
the Upper
Gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
And
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
.
The next
day
, when
Pashhur
released
Jeremiah from
the stocks ,
Jeremiah said
to
him, “
The LORD does
not call
you
Pashhur
, but Magor-missabib
.
For 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.
For this
is
what
the LORD says:
‘
I will make you
a terror to yourself
and to all your
friends .
They will
fall by the sword of their enemies before
your
very
eyes .
And I will hand Judah
over
to
the king of Babylon, and he will
carry them away
to
Babylon and put
them to
the sword.
Moreover
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.
I will give
away
all the wealth
of this city —
all its
products
and valuables
, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah —to
their enemies .
They
will
plunder
them, seize
them, and carry them off
to Babylon.
And 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.
And you
, Pashhur
, and all who
live
in your
house ,
will
go into captivity .
You
will
go
to Babylon, and there you
will
die and be buried —you
and all your
friends to whom you
have
prophesied these
lies. ’”
O
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.
You
have
deceived me, O
LORD,
and I was deceived .
You
have
overcome
me
and prevailed .
I am a
laughingstock
all
day
long;
everyone
mocks
me.
For 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
.
For whenever
I speak
, I cry
out ;
I proclaim
violence and destruction.
For
the word of the LORD has
become
to
me
a reproach and derision all
day
long
.
Then
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
.
If
I say
, “
I will not mention Him or
speak any more in His name ,”
His message
becomes
a fire burning
in
my
heart,
shut up in my bones, and I become
weary of
holding
it
in
, and I cannot
prevail
.
For 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.
For I have
heard the whispering
of many :
“Terror
is
on every side !
Report him;
let
us
report him!”
All my trusted
friends
watch
for my fall:
“Perhaps
he will be deceived
so
that
we may
prevail against him and take our vengeance
upon
him. ”
But 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.
But the LORD is with me like
a fearsome
warrior.
Therefore ,
my persecutors will
stumble and will
not prevail .
Since
they have
not succeeded,
they
will
be
utterly
put
to
shame,
with
an
everlasting disgrace
that
will
never be forgotten.
But,
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.
O LORD of Hosts, who
examines
the righteous, who
sees
the heart and
mind
, let me see Your
vengeance upon
them ,
for to
You
I have
committed
my cause.
Sing unto
the LORD ,
praise ye
the LORD :
for he hath
delivered
the soul
of the poor
from the hand
of evildoers.
Sing to
the LORD !
Praise the LORD !
For He rescues
the life
of the needy
from the hands
of evildoers.
Cursed be the day wherein
I was born :
let
not
the day wherein
my mother bare
me be blessed.
Cursed be the day I was born !
May
the day my mother bore
me never
be blessed.
Cursed be the man who brought tidings
to
my father, saying, A man
child
is born unto
thee;
making
him very
glad
.
Cursed be the man who brought my father the
news
, saying, “
A son
is born to
you,”
bringing
him great
joy
.
And
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;
May
that man be like
the cities that
the LORD overthrew without
compassion.
May
he
hear an
outcry
in the morning and a
battle
cry
at noon,
Because 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
.
because he did
not kill
me
in
the womb so
that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb forever
enlarged
.
Wherefore
came
I forth
out of the womb to see labour
and sorrow, that
my days should
be
consumed
with
shame?
Why
did
I come
out of the womb to see only
trouble
and sorrow, and
to
end
my days in
shame?
