Jeremiah 20:1
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:2 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:3 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:4 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:5 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:6 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:7 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:8 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:9 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:10 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:11 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:12 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:13 |
|
Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for
he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:14 |
|
Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not
the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:15 |
|
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my
father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:16 |
|
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; |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:17 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 20:18 |
|
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see
labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame? |
