Berean Standard Bible
Now
Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest,
who
was
chief officer
in the house of Jehovah
, heard Jeremiah prophesying 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
Pashhur
smote
Jeremiah the prophet ,
and put him
in the stocks that
were
in
the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in
the house of Jehovah
.
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
Pashhur brought
forth
Jeremiah out
of
the stocks .
Then
said
Jeremiah unto
him, Jehovah
hath
not called
thy
name
Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.
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
Jehovah,
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
to 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 give all the riches
of this city ,
and
all the
gains
thereof,
and all
the
precious
things
thereof,
yea
, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will
I
give
into
the
hand
of
their enemies ;
and
they shall
make
them a
prey
, 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
, Pashhur, and all that
dwell
in thy
house shall
go into captivity ;
and
thou
shalt
come
to Babylon, and there thou
shalt
die ,
and there
shalt
thou
be buried ,
thou,
and all thy
friends ,
to whom thou
hast
prophesied falsely
.
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
Jehovah,
thou
hast
persuaded
me, and I was persuaded;
thou
art
stronger
than
I,
and hast
prevailed :
I am become
a laughing-stock
all the
day ,
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 as
often
as
I speak, I cry out; I cry,
Violence and destruction !
because
the word of Jehovah
is
made
a reproach unto
me,
and a
derision ,
all the
day.
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
.
And
if I say, I will not make
mention of
him ,
nor
speak any more in his name, then
there
is
in my heart as
it
were
a
burning
fire
shut up in my bones, and I am
weary with
forbearing
, and I cannot `contain'
.
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 have heard the defaming
of many ,
terror on every side .
Denounce,
and
we
will
denounce
him ,
`say'
all my familiar
friends ,
they
that
watch for my fall ;
peradventure
he will be persuaded,
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 Jehovah
is with me as
a
mighty
one
`and'
a terrible:
therefore my persecutors shall
stumble ,
and they
shall
not prevail ;
they shall
be utterly put to shame, because
they
have
not
dealt
wisely,
even
with an everlasting dishonor
which
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 Jehovah
of hosts, that
triest
the righteous, that
seest
the heart and the
mind, let me see thy
vengeance on
them ;
for unto
thee
have
I revealed
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
Jehovah,
praise ye
Jehovah;
for he hath
delivered
the soul
of the needy from the hand
of evil-doers
.
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
Jehovah
overthrew ,
and
repented
not:
and
let
him
hear a
cry
in the morning ,
and shouting
at noontime;
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 ;
and
so my mother would
have been my grave, and her womb always
great
.
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 labor
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?
