Jeremiah

Chapter 20

1 Now Pashur6583 the son1121 of Immer564 the priest,3548 who1931 was also chief5057 governor5057 in the house1004 of the LORD,3068 heard8085 that Jeremiah3414 prophesied5012 these428 things.1697

2 Then Pashur6583 smote5221 Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 and put5414 him in the stocks4115 that were in the high5945 gate8179 of Benjamin,1144 which834 was by the house1004 of the LORD.3068

3 And it came1961 to pass on the morrow,4283 that Pashur6583 brought3318 forth3318 Jeremiah3414 out of the stocks.4115 Then said559 Jeremiah3414 to him, The LORD3068 has not called7121 your name8034 Pashur,6583 but Magormissabib.4036

4 For thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2005 I will make5414 you a terror4032 to yourself, and to all3605 your friends:157 and they shall fall5307 by the sword2719 of their enemies,341 and your eyes5869 shall behold7200 it: and I will give5414 all3605 Judah3063 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and he shall carry1540 them captive1540 into Babylon,894 and shall slay5221 them with the sword.2719

5 Moreover I will deliver5414 all3605 the strength2633 of this2063 city,5892 and all3605 the labors3018 thereof, and all3605 the precious3366 things thereof, and all3605 the treasures214 of the kings4428 of Judah3063 will I give5414 into the hand3027 of their enemies,341 which834 shall spoil962 them, and take3947 them, and carry935 them to Babylon.894

6 And you, Pashur,6583 and all3605 that dwell3427 in your house1004 shall go3212 into captivity:7628 and you shall come935 to Babylon,894 and there8033 you shall die,4191 and shall be buried6912 there,8033 you, and all3605 your friends,157 to whom834 1992 you have prophesied5012 lies.8267

7 O LORD,3068 you have deceived6601 me, and I was deceived;6601 you are stronger2388 than I, and have prevailed:3201 I am in derision7814 daily,3605 3117 every3605 one mocks3932 me.

8 For since1767 I spoke,1696 I cried2199 out, I cried7121 violence2555 and spoil;7701 because3588 the word1697 of the LORD3068 was made1961 a reproach2781 to me, and a derision,7047 daily.3605 3117

9 Then I said,559 I will not make mention2142 of him, nor3808 speak1696 any more5750 in his name.8034 But his word was in my heart3820 as a burning1197 fire784 shut6113 up in my bones,6106 and I was weary3811 with forbearing,3557 and I could3201 not stay.

10 For I heard8085 the defaming1681 of many,7227 fear4032 on every5437 side.5439 Report,5046 say they, and we will report5046 it. All3605 my familiars7965 watched8104 for my halting,6761 saying, Peradventure194 he will be enticed,6601 and we shall prevail3201 against him, and we shall take3947 our revenge5360 on him.

11 But the LORD3068 is with me as a mighty1368 terrible6184 one: therefore5921 3651 my persecutors7291 shall stumble,3782 and they shall not prevail:3201 they shall be greatly3966 ashamed;954 for they shall not prosper:7919 their everlasting5769 confusion3639 shall never3808 be forgotten.7911

12 But, O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that try974 the righteous,6662 and see7200 the reins3629 and the heart,3820 let me see7200 your vengeance5360 on them: for to you have I opened1540 my cause.7379

13 Sing7891 to the LORD,3068 praise1984 you the LORD:3068 for he has delivered5337 the soul5315 of the poor34 from the hand3027 of evildoers.7489

14 Cursed779 be the day3117 wherein834 I was born:3205 let not the day3117 wherein834 my mother517 bore3205 me be blessed.1288

15 Cursed779 be the man376 who834 brought1319 tidings1319 to my father,1 saying,559 A man2145 child1121 is born3205 to you; making him very glad.8056

16 And let that man376 be as the cities5892 which834 the LORD3068 overthrew,2015 and repented5162 not: and let him hear8085 the cry2201 in the morning,1242 and the shouting8643 at noontide;6256

17 Because834 he slew4191 me not from the womb;7358 or that my mother517 might have been1961 my grave,6913 and her womb7358 to be always5769 great2030 with me.

18 Why4100 came3318 I forth3318 out of the womb7358 to see7200 labor5999 and sorrow,3015 that my days3117 should be consumed3615 with shame?1322

Jeremiah

Chapter 20

1 NOW Pashur the son of Amariah the priest, who was governor in charge of the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah the prophet prophesying these things.

2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.

3 And it came to pass on the morrow that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, The LORD has not called your name Pashur, but a stranger and a beggar.

4 For thus says the LORD: Behold, I will make you a sojourner, you and your friends; and the people shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I shall deliver 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 fortified places of this city and all the labor thereof; and all its precious things and all the treasures of the king of Judah will I deliver into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and take them and carry them to Babylon.

6 And as for you, Pashur, you and all the members of your household shall go into captivity; and you shall go to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies.

7 O LORD, thou hast comforted me, and I am comforted; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed; I have become a laughing-stock daily, every one mocks me.

8 For at the time when I spoke and cried out, I spoke against the extortioners and against the robbers; because the word of the LORD has become for me a reproach and derision daily.

9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word became in my heart like a burning fire kindling in my bones; and I sought to be patient, but I could not endure it.

10 For I heard the evil intentions of many, who were gathering from every side inquiring of my peace with their mouth, but hating me in their heart, saying, Point him out to us; we will stand against him; perhaps we can win him over and we shall take our revenge on him.

11 But the LORD is with me as a mighty warrior; therefore all my persecutors shall be ashamed, and they shall not prevail; they have been greatly ashamed because they did not understand; their everlasting shame shall never be forgotten.

12 But, O LORD of hosts, who observest the right cause and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for to thee have I revealed my cause.

13 Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD; for he has delivered the life of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

14 Cursed be the day on which I was born; let not the day on which my mother bore me be blessed.

15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A son is born to you, making him very glad.

16 Let that man be like the cities which the LORD overthrew, and he was never reconciled towards them; and let him hear the cry in the morning and the howling at noon.

17 Because he did not slay me in the womb, so that my mother might have been my grave, and my conception would have remained in the womb for ever.

18 Why did I come forth out of the womb to see toil and sorrow? My days are spent in shame.

3 And it came1961 to pass on the morrow,4283 that Pashur6583 brought3318 forth3318 Jeremiah3414 out of the stocks.4115 Then said559 Jeremiah3414 to him, The LORD3068 has not called7121 your name8034 Pashur,6583 but Magormissabib.4036

3 And it came to pass on the morrow that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah to him, The LORD has not called your name Pashur, but a stranger and a beggar.

4 For thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Behold,2005 I will make5414 you a terror4032 to yourself, and to all3605 your friends:157 and they shall fall5307 by the sword2719 of their enemies,341 and your eyes5869 shall behold7200 it: and I will give5414 all3605 Judah3063 into the hand3027 of the king4428 of Babylon,894 and he shall carry1540 them captive1540 into Babylon,894 and shall slay5221 them with the sword.2719

5 Moreover I will deliver all the fortified places of this city and all the labor thereof; and all its precious things and all the treasures of the king of Judah will I deliver into the hand of their enemies, who shall plunder them and take them and carry them to Babylon.

6 And you, Pashur,6583 and all3605 that dwell3427 in your house1004 shall go3212 into captivity:7628 and you shall come935 to Babylon,894 and there8033 you shall die,4191 and shall be buried6912 there,8033 you, and all3605 your friends,157 to whom834 1992 you have prophesied5012 lies.8267

6 And as for you, Pashur, you and all the members of your household shall go into captivity; and you shall go to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies.

7 O LORD,3068 you have deceived6601 me, and I was deceived;6601 you are stronger2388 than I, and have prevailed:3201 I am in derision7814 daily,3605 3117 every3605 one mocks3932 me.

7 O LORD, thou hast comforted me, and I am comforted; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed; I have become a laughing-stock daily, every one mocks me.

8 For since1767 I spoke,1696 I cried2199 out, I cried7121 violence2555 and spoil;7701 because3588 the word1697 of the LORD3068 was made1961 a reproach2781 to me, and a derision,7047 daily.3605 3117

8 For at the time when I spoke and cried out, I spoke against the extortioners and against the robbers; because the word of the LORD has become for me a reproach and derision daily.

9 Then I said,559 I will not make mention2142 of him, nor3808 speak1696 any more5750 in his name.8034 But his word was in my heart3820 as a burning1197 fire784 shut6113 up in my bones,6106 and I was weary3811 with forbearing,3557 and I could3201 not stay.

9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word became in my heart like a burning fire kindling in my bones; and I sought to be patient, but I could not endure it.

11 But the LORD3068 is with me as a mighty1368 terrible6184 one: therefore5921 3651 my persecutors7291 shall stumble,3782 and they shall not prevail:3201 they shall be greatly3966 ashamed;954 for they shall not prosper:7919 their everlasting5769 confusion3639 shall never3808 be forgotten.7911

11 But the LORD is with me as a mighty warrior; therefore all my persecutors shall be ashamed, and they shall not prevail; they have been greatly ashamed because they did not understand; their everlasting shame shall never be forgotten.

12 But, O LORD3068 of hosts,6635 that try974 the righteous,6662 and see7200 the reins3629 and the heart,3820 let me see7200 your vengeance5360 on them: for to you have I opened1540 my cause.7379

12 But, O LORD of hosts, who observest the right cause and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for to thee have I revealed my cause.

13 Sing7891 to the LORD,3068 praise1984 you the LORD:3068 for he has delivered5337 the soul5315 of the poor34 from the hand3027 of evildoers.7489

13 Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD; for he has delivered the life of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

14 Cursed779 be the day3117 wherein834 I was born:3205 let not the day3117 wherein834 my mother517 bore3205 me be blessed.1288

14 Cursed be the day on which I was born; let not the day on which my mother bore me be blessed.

15 Cursed779 be the man376 who834 brought1319 tidings1319 to my father,1 saying,559 A man2145 child1121 is born3205 to you; making him very glad.8056

15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A son is born to you, making him very glad.

16 And let that man376 be as the cities5892 which834 the LORD3068 overthrew,2015 and repented5162 not: and let him hear8085 the cry2201 in the morning,1242 and the shouting8643 at noontide;6256

16 Let that man be like the cities which the LORD overthrew, and he was never reconciled towards them; and let him hear the cry in the morning and the howling at noon.

17 Because834 he slew4191 me not from the womb;7358 or that my mother517 might have been1961 my grave,6913 and her womb7358 to be always5769 great2030 with me.

17 Because he did not slay me in the womb, so that my mother might have been my grave, and my conception would have remained in the womb for ever.

18 Why4100 came3318 I forth3318 out of the womb7358 to see7200 labor5999 and sorrow,3015 that my days3117 should be consumed3615 with shame?1322

18 Why did I come forth out of the womb to see toil and sorrow? My days are spent in shame.
