Jeremiah 20:14
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
Now Pashur the
son of Immer the priest, who
was
also chief governor in the house of the
L
ORD
, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
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
L
ORD
.
3
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The
L
ORD
hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4
For thus saith the
L
ORD
, 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.
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.
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.
7
O
L
ORD
, 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.
8
For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the
L
ORD
was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
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
.
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.
11
But the
L
ORD
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.
12
But, O
L
ORD
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.
13
Sing unto the
L
ORD
, praise ye the
L
ORD
: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
Cursed
be
the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15
Cursed
be
the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16
And let that man be as the cities which the
L
ORD
overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
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
.
18
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
