Jeremiah:20:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
