Now Pashur <H6583> the son <H1121> of Immer <H0564> the priest, <H3548> who [was] also chief <H5057> governor <H6496> in the house <H1004> of the LORD, <H3068> heard <H8085> that Jeremiah <H3414> prophesied <H5012> these things. <H1697>
2
Then Pashur <H6583> smote <H5221> Jeremiah <H3414> the prophet, <H5030> and put <H5414> him in the stocks <H4115> that [were] in the high <H5945> gate <H8179> of Benjamin, <H1144> which [was] by the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
3
And it came to pass on the morrow, <H4283> that Pashur <H6583> brought forth <H3318> Jeremiah <H3414> out of the stocks. <H4115> Then said <H0559> Jeremiah <H3414> unto him, The LORD <H3068> hath not called <H7121> thy name <H8034> Pashur, <H6583> but Magormissabib. <H4036>
4
For thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> Behold, I will make <H5414> thee a terror <H4032> to thyself, and to all thy friends: <H0157> and they shall fall <H5307> by the sword <H2719> of their enemies, <H0341> and thine eyes <H5869> shall behold <H7200> [it]: and I will give <H5414> all Judah <H3063> into the hand <H3027> of the king <H4428> of Babylon, <H0894> and he shall carry them captive <H1540> into Babylon, <H0894> and shall slay <H5221> them with the sword. <H2719>
5
Moreover I will deliver <H5414> all the strength <H2633> of this city, <H5892> and all the labours <H3018> thereof, and all the precious things <H3366> thereof, and all the treasures <H0214> of the kings <H4428> of Judah <H3063> will I give <H5414> into the hand <H3027> of their enemies, <H0341> which shall spoil <H0962> them, and take <H3947> them, and carry <H0935> them to Babylon. <H0894>
6
And thou, Pashur, <H6583> and all that dwell <H3427> in thine house <H1004> shall go <H3212> into captivity: <H7628> and thou shalt come <H0935> to Babylon, <H0894> and there thou shalt die, <H4191> and shalt be buried <H6912> there, thou, and all thy friends, <H0157> to whom thou hast prophesied <H5012> lies. <H8267>
7
O LORD, <H3068> thou hast deceived <H6601> me, and I was deceived: <H6601> thou art stronger <H2388> than I, and hast prevailed: <H3201> I am in derision <H7814> daily, <H3117> every one mocketh <H3932> me.
8
For since <H1767> I spake, <H1696> I cried out, <H2199> I cried <H7121> violence <H2555> and spoil; <H7701> because the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> was made a reproach <H2781> unto me, and a derision, <H7047> daily. <H3117>
9
Then I said, <H0559> I will not make mention <H2142> of him, nor speak <H1696> any more in his name. <H8034> But [his word] was in mine heart <H3820> as a burning <H1197> fire <H0784> shut up <H6113> in my bones, <H6106> and I was weary <H3811> with forbearing, <H3557> and I could <H3201> not [stay].
10
For I heard <H8085> the defaming <H1681> of many, <H7227> fear <H4032> on every side. <H5439> Report, <H5046> [say they], and we will report <H5046> it. All my familiars <H0582> <H7965> watched <H8104> for my halting, <H6763> <H6761> [saying], Peradventure he will be enticed, <H6601> and we shall prevail <H3201> against him, and we shall take <H3947> our revenge <H5360> on him.
11
But the LORD <H3068> [is] with me as a mighty <H1368> terrible one: <H6184> therefore my persecutors <H7291> shall stumble, <H3782> and they shall not prevail: <H3201> they shall be greatly <H3966> ashamed; <H0954> for they shall not prosper: <H7919> [their] everlasting <H5769> confusion <H3639> shall never be forgotten. <H7911>
12
But, O LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> that triest <H0974> the righteous, <H6662> [and] seest <H7200> the reins <H3629> and the heart, <H3820> let me see <H7200> thy vengeance <H5360> on them: for unto thee have I opened <H1540> my cause. <H7379>
13
Sing <H7891> unto the LORD, <H3068> praise <H1984> ye the LORD: <H3068> for he hath delivered <H5337> the soul <H5315> of the poor <H0034> from the hand <H3027> of evildoers. <H7489>
14
Cursed <H0779> [be] the day <H3117> wherein I was born: <H3205> let not the day <H3117> wherein my mother <H0517> bare <H3205> me be blessed. <H1288>
15
Cursed <H0779> [be] the man <H0376> who brought tidings <H1319> to my father, <H0001> saying, <H0559> A man <H2145> child <H1121> is born <H3205> unto thee; making him very <H8055> glad. <H8055>
16
And let that man <H0376> be as the cities <H5892> which the LORD <H3068> overthrew, <H2015> and repented <H5162> not: and let him hear <H8085> the cry <H2201> in the morning, <H1242> and the shouting <H8643> at noontide; <H6256> <H6672>
17
Because he slew <H4191> me not from the womb; <H7358> or that my mother <H0517> might have been my grave, <H6913> and her womb <H7358> [to be] always <H5769> great <H2030> [with me].
18
Wherefore came I forth <H3318> out of the womb <H7358> to see <H7200> labour <H5999> and sorrow, <H3015> that my days <H3117> should be consumed <H3615> with shame? <H1322>
